FRENCH GUIANA. Banque de la Guyane. 1000 Francs, ND (1942). P-15s. Specimen.
Specimen overprint and serial numbers printed by E.A. Wright. 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. We sold another of the same grade as lot 57 in our August 2014 ANA sale which realized $6,345. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
