Watch List notes:

Nicaragua, Banco Central, 2 cordobas front and back presentation essays, 27-4-1972, in American Bank Note Company presentation case, very rare, ex-Rudman. SCWPM-121 (type of). Very rare and possibly unique artist's model for the proposed design of Nicaragua's 1972-dated 2 cordobas note, created using mixed media with pasted on text and design elements over India paper essays. There is some variation from the issued design that was printed by Thomas de la Rue & Company (SCWPM-121), particularly with the underprints, borders, and denominators. Gem UNC, as made with no handling or problems to report. The model design is well protected by the hardback official ABNCo case which bears the inscription "Property of the American Bank Note Company New York." Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet.
