CUBA. Banco Espanol de la Habana. 1000 Pesos, 1868. P-10. PMG Very Fine 20 Net. Cancelled, Ink Burn, Previously Mounted.
Dated April 11th, 1868. Habana. No. 01615. This is the highest denomination for the 1867-68 issue of currency. Depicted at center is an allegorical woman and an Indian, with representations of commerce surrounding the pair. Counters are at left and right of the central vignette, with dual under printed "1000"s in green below. Early issues of Spanish Cuba are quite hard to locate, especially in higher denominations as evidenced by the PMG Population report with just three examples graded by their service for this catalog number. Surely missing from even the most advance collections of Spanish or Cuban paper. PMG comments "Cancelled, Ink Burn, Previously Mounted."
Estimate: $8000 - $10000
