Saint Thomas and Prince Banco Nacional Ultramarino 10,000 Reis 2.1.1897 Pick 5 PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ. A breathtaking allegorical vignette of agriculture is seen at the top left of this large sized note, with Mercury to the right. This Island nation saw 500 years of Portuguese rule, and only gained independence in 1975. During the 19th century the Island saw increased prosperity due to the introduction of the Cocoa trade. A handwritten date and Bank Manager signatures are observed. Perforated on both sides and an embossed "Lisboa" Seal II over watermark. It is hard to believe that that this note has survived in this state given the climate of the region. A mere two examples are graded in the PMG Population Report, with this piece holding the higher due to the EPQ status.
