WORLD BANKNOTE AUCTIONS SALE 4 SELECTIONS

Here are some lots that caught my eye in the World Banknote Auctions Sale 4, which closes on February 18, 2021. -Editor

Lot 4002: 1921 Angola 1 Escudo

1921 Angola 1 Escudo

Angola 1.1.1921 P-55 PCGS Extremely Fine 45 PPQ 1 Escudo

Lightly circulated low denomination note from Angola. Like all Angola banknotes from this time period finding them in fully original condition with original paper is difficult.

Colorful piece. -Editor

Lot 4024: 1966 Bermuda 5 Pounds

1966 Bermuda 5 Pounds

Bermuda 1.10.1966 P-21d PCGS Gem UNC 66 PPQ 5 Pounds

Unsurpassed in the PCGS population report, this is the final date prior to decimalization of this high denomination issue. While a £10 note was introduced in the mid 1960s £5 still represented quite a bit of money on Bermuda at this time, so few were saved, and gem uncirculated examples of this type are very rare. This one is as fresh and bright as the day it was printed and would make for a great type representative.

Nice condition rare note. The color is a little overwhelming for me. -Editor

Lot 4083: Fiji 5 Pounds Specimen

Fiji 5 Pounds Specimen

Fiji ND (1934-35) P-34cts PMG Superb Gem UNC 67 EPQ 5 Pounds "Color Trial Specimen"

Extremely difficult type to find in any form. This is a color trial specimen with background in purple, with the issued note predominantly green. While any Fiji notes with the portrait of King George V are very scarce, the higher denominations are very seldom offered in any form. Seldom encountered opportunity for the specialist to acquire one of the great rarities in British Commonwealth banknotes.

Great pre-war specimen note. -Editor

Lot 4115: 1905 Greenland 25 Ore

1905 Greenland 25 Ore

Greenland 1905 P-4b PMG Choice UNC 64 25 Ore

Greenland had a quite extensive banknote issuance for a country with such a low population. This type, dated 1905 was reportedly issued around the beginning of World War I. It is quite difficult to find, especially in uncirculated condition as seen here.

Rare note in great condition. -Editor

1919 Poland 500 Zlotych

Poland 1919 (ND 1924) P-58 PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 500 Zlotych

Pleasing Gem Uncirculated type note from Poland. Issued in the 1920s, this is one of those classic European notes from the 1920s that is surprisingly affordable even in Gem Uncirculated condition.

Nice classic pre-war note. -Editor
