MAURITIUS. The Government of Mauritius. 5 Rupees, ND (1954). P-27. PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ.
Although the Standard Catalog attributes this type as "Pick 27", that is rather simplistic. According to The Banknote Book, there are five signature combinations for this type, issued between 1954 and 1965. The Superb Gem offered here is the second variation, with corrected Hindi text at front and the signatures of William George Wilson and Augustin Roger Harvais. Rare in Uncirculated grade and an impressive offering. PMG Pop 9/None Finer.
Estimate: $700 - $1200
