50 Rupias

PORTUGUESE INDIA. Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 50 Rupias, 1938. P-34. PMG Very Fine 25.This extremely rare and coveted type is virtually impossible to find and is currently one of only two examples in issued form certified by PMG. We offered an extremely circulated and problematic example which was nearly destroyed that fetched over $7,500 nearly 4 years ago. We therefore imagine this extremely pleasing example will fetch a new record. This treasure is without question one of the most heavily sought after designs in the hobby with a giant elephant pictured at center. Some minor wear that experts will confirm is typical for the type, but otherwise bold impressions and deep blue ink throughout.Estimate: $20,000 - $30,000.PMG Very Fine 25. 1938年葡萄牙印度大西洋銀行 50魯皮亞斯。 極其稀罕且廣受追捧的一枚，市面難見。發行鈔PMG僅評有兩枚，此為其中一枚。約四年前，我行上拍過一枚重度流通，幾乎損毀的同款，成交價7,500美金。因此，我行估計本拍品將會製造新的記錄。此款紙鈔中心有精美的大象圖案，毫無疑問是紙幣藏界最求之不得的藏品之一。少許磨損，對本版別來說稀鬆平常。壓印精美，通體深藍色墨跡仍濃。
