Live Sale 13 is highlighted by one of the nicest examples of the 1931 (ND 1942) P-16b 1/4 Dinar from Iraq to come to the market in recent history. This note is graded Choice Uncirculated 64 by PMG and features the portrait of the young King Faisal II at age six. It is fully original and very rarely encountered at this grade level. Featuring the second of three signature varieties (and the one with the lowest number of graded examples according to the PMG population report) this is the first uncirculated example of this Pick number to be offered at public auction since early 2019. The market for early Iraqi banknotes has remained strong over the past couple of years and it is not often that a fresh example becomes available in the marketplace.

1979 Ireland Lady Laverly 100 Pounds

To read the complete lot description, see:
Ireland 10.4.1975 P-69b PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 100 Pounds (https://worldbanknoteauctions.com/lots/view/4-377QDK/ireland-1041975-p-69b-pmg-gem-unc-65-epq-100-pounds)

Another strong selection comes from Ireland, highlighted by various high grade examples of the popular Lady Lavery series. Noteworthy is the fact that none of the notes are the final dates, which were hoarded when a new series of banknotes was introduced. For example, the 100 Pounds is dated 1975 and in PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ is very scarce.

1988 East Caribbean States 100 Dollars

To read the complete lot description, see:
https://worldbanknoteauctions.com/lots/view/4-377Q71/east-caribbean-states-antigua-nd-1988-p-20u-pmg-superb-gem-unc-67-epq-100-dollars

The sale also includes the second part of a specialized collection of East Caribbean States $100 notes. One of the highlights is a $100 printed for Anguilla and issued circa 1988 in PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 67 EPQ This note, which even though it is considered modern has become very difficult to find in recent years and is very popular with collectors. This particular example is surpassed by just a single example in the PMG population report.

1924 Mongolia 5 Dolars

To read the complete lot description, see:
https://worldbanknoteauctions.com/lots/view/4-377QIQ/mongolia-1924-p-4r-pmg-choice-unc-63-epq-5-dollars-remainder

A final highlight worth mentioning is a PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ 5 Dollars from Mongolia from the unissued 1924 series. Perhaps the most colorful series of banknotes ever printed, this series is only encountered in remainder form as they were never issued for circulation. Offerings are infrequent at best, and this is one of the nicer examples to come to the market in recent memory.

There are many other highlights and the entire sale can be viewed on the company’s website (www.worldbanknoteauctions.com). Buyer’s Premium is just 15% and shipping is flat-rate and kept at reasonable costs ($10 within the United States and $25 anywhere else in the world).

Select highlights will be on display at the ANA’s World Fair of Money in Chicago from August 10 to 14 at table 1027. The company is also accepting consignments for future sales, with a standard 0% seller’s commission offered on all consignments. For more information, please contact info@worldbanknoteauctions.com or call 916-221-1782.
