French Somaliland ND (1952) P-28 PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ 1000 Francs
An iconic design of local women with pottery typical of the region, this is the French Somaliland issue of this design, not to be confused with the much more common later issue from Djibouti, which is virtually identical in design but has different text. While the Djibouti issue is seen fairly frequently in Gem Uncirculated condition, the French Somaliland is many times more scarce, especially in better grades. In fact, this offering represents the single finest example of this type in the PMG population report, and it is and important opportunity for the French colonial specialist, not to be missed.
