Rare Example with Handwritten Denomination
DENMARK. Exchange & Mortgage Bank. 10 Rigsdaler Courant, 1737. PMG Very Fine 25.
Pick-A18a. Rønning-S28a. Sieg-23. Bruun-8. Handwritten denomination. Second word of sixth line reads "Rixdaler." Much nicer in grade than the example pictured in Sieg, which has the same set of signatures. Small internal splits and some staining not mentioned by the grading service. The only example in the PMG population report. PMG Comments "Internal Splits."
Notes from the Kurantbanken are extremely rare in issued format, especially those of the first issue with handwritten denominations as seen here. These notes circulated extensively and were withdrawn systematically and subsequently burned in public. This is one of the few remaining examples in private hands of the first series.
From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
Ex: Countship of Brahesminde Collection (Private Sale - 1922).
Estimate: 15000 - 20000
