BELGIAN CONGO. Banque Centrale du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi. 1000 Francs, 1953. P-29a. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
The fist series of banknotes for the Banque Centrale du Congo Belge et du Ruanda-Urundi included denominations 5 Francs to 1000 Francs. This highest denomination note is scarce in issued form, and perhaps only one prefix was used for all known dates. This example is mildly circulated and presents very well for the assigned grade. Rare and in-demand.
From the Scott Lindquist Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
