BELGIAN CONGO. Banque Centrale du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi. 50 Francs, 1953. P-27a. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
Belgian Congo's 50 Francs issued from 1953 to 1955 is a key note for this series and for the entire country. It is especially rare in Uncirculated grade, and in fact, this is the highest graded example PMG has graded for all dates combined. Its issuance was small compared to the lower and higher denomination flanking this note, and for whatever reason, few were saved for posterity. The best we have auctioned and the best brought forth to date. PMG Pop 1/None Finer.
From the Scott Lindquist Collection.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
