South Africa Port Elizabeth Bank 20 Pounds ND (1857) Pick S243p Proof PMG Uncirculated 62. At the time of cataloging, this is the single finest graded Proof for the type in the PMG Population Report. Twenty Pounds was an enormous sum of money in the 19th century. As such, this proposed banknote would have had significant buying power. This black and white Proof is mounted on cardstock for rigidity. Minor stains are mentioned for accuracy. Small margin tears and printer notations are also present. Quite a rare 19th century design, this is the first we have offered. In fact, there are no auction results for this type in the traceable database. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/south-africa-port-elizabeth-bank-20-pounds-nd-1857-pick-s243p-proof-pmg-uncirculated-62/a/4035-28404.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4035-01062022 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
