Watch List notes:

Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya & British Borneo, a pair of uniface obverse and reverse archival photographic model for an unissued $100, 1952, serial number A/11 00000, Queen Elizabeth II at right, flower patterns, reverse arms of member states, plant at centre, DLR stamp 'DLR Studio Photographed 1 May 1952' on both.While this design was not ultimately adopted, note that it does bear the portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth.This fascinating note was prepared by Thomas de la Rue, and completed by 1 May 1952. Elizabeth's father, King George VI, passed on 6 February 1952. Accordingly, Elizabeth had only been on the throne -- uncrowned -- for less than three months when this proposed design was completed and undoubtedly submitted to the Currency Board.The note is complimented by having a very striking back to go together with the front.(Pick unlisted), both graded PCGS Currency 64 Very Choice New (1 pair). Unique and a beautiful design.

Estimate: $50,000.00 - $70,000.00
