CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Republika Ceskoslovenska. 5000 Korun, 1920. P-19a. PMG About Uncirculated 50.
Printed by ABNC. The highest denomination for the 1920-23 series. Ships are depicted traversing the Elbe River at left. The guilloche encasing the central vignette is seen in a lovely array of colors. A young woman wearing traditional dress is at right. The underprint consists of multiple colors and is truly breathtaking. The reverse displays an allegorical woman at center flanked at both sides by "5000" counters. The border and central design are in a dark purple ink, which pops against the green underprint. No expense was spared by ABNC in designing/coloring this note. Just two examples of this type have been graded by PMG at the time of cataloging. Highly scarce, and worthy of a premium bid.
Estimate: $5000 - $7500
