WORLD BANKNOTE AUCTIONS SALE 6 SELECTIONS

Here are some lots that caught my eye in the World Banknote Auctions Sale 6, which closes on March 25, 2021. -Editor

Lot 6011: 1919 Armenia 250 Rubles
1919 Armenia 250 Rubles

Armenia 1919 (ND 1920) P-32 PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 250 Rubles

Popular type from Armenia. While uncirculated examples come around from time to time, most are fairly ugly. This one is above average.

I guess it's the colors I like on this one. Nice example. -Editor

China, Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China 2.5.1927 P-S184 PMG Fine 12 5 Dollars

Challenging issue from one of the Foreign Banks that was allowed to issue paper money in China in the 1920s. Like most of this time period seen with extensive signs of circulation, but the overall eye-appeal of this pieces is above average. PMG Mentions "Rust, ink".

Interesting foreign bank issue. -Editor

2001 Iceland 10,000 Kronur

Iceland 2001 (ND 2013) P-61 PMG Gem UNC 66 EPQ 10,000 Kronur

Highest denomination from the current series of Iceland. Face value of about 80 USD and surprisingly difficult to find in the marketplace. One of those modern European issues that might prove a worthwhile investment once they are withdrawn from circulation.

I like the color, and I dunno, I guess I think Iceland is cool. -Editor
