Martinique Caisse Centrale de la France Libre 1000 Francs 2.12.1941 (ND 1944-47) Pick 22b PMG About Uncirculated 50 Net. A striking note, both in metaphorical meaning and visual design. A phoenix rising from the flames appears on the front, while the back depicts the difference between times of war and times of peace on an idyllic farm. Of interest, there are two varieties of this Martinique emission: the first with one red overprint "Martinique" at top-center of front, and the second, which has three red "Martinique" overprints. This variety, with one overprint, is exceedingly rare, as only 1,200 banknotes were prepared in this manner. Red cancellations and POCs are present on this note. Rust, an internal tear and pinholes are mentioned for accuracy. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/martinique-caisse-centrale-de-la-france-libre-1000-francs-2121941-nd-1944-47-pick-22b-pmg-about-uncirculated-5/a/4039-25391.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4039-10202022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
