Lebanon Banque de Syrie et du Liban 50 Livres 1.9.1939 Pick UNL PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Lebanese and Syrian issues printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company were overprinted with various shapes to help identify batches of notes in case they were stolen or lost during transport during World War II. This variety, featuring a Chevron overprint, was reportedly stolen before introduction and it seems the majority of notes safely delivered were ultimately unissued. Minor restoration has been applied to this handsome and rare variety. Missing from many collections and an excellent type note. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/lebanon-banque-de-syrie-et-du-liban-50-livres-191939-pick-unl-pmg-choice-very-fine-35/a/4036-25636.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4036-04212022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
