FRENCH GUIANA. Banque de la Guyane. 1000 Francs, ND (1942). P-15s.
Printed by E.A. Wright. Specimen overprint and serial numbers. Three punch cancels at the signature panels. Extremely large format likely intended for bank to bank transactions rather than a circulating medium. A rich green color fills the face design with vignettes of women seated at left and right. Bank name repeated continuously in under-printing. Back design shares a similar layout to face ornate border in brown and light brown under-prints. Simply a sensational item, and the first we have seen or handled for the design. Certainly a note which will be on people's radar. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
