The second-highest-rated banknote by PMG and, at the same time, one of the rarest banknotes from the interwar period.
The banknote comes with a PMG certificate with a PMG 58 EPQ grade.
The design is likely slightly damaged, and the upper corners are chipped.
It has an interesting radar number, which is quite a distinction for a banknote of this class.
A rare and highly distinctive banknote that, due to the outbreak of World War II, was never officially put into circulation. Only semi-finished or unfinished pieces are commonly known; completed ones are extremely rare, and according to some sources, they were used to pay soldiers’ pay in September 1939.
A beautifully preserved banknote in mint condition. Based on known pieces, obtaining a higher grade than PMG will be extremely difficult.
format_quoteA beautiful specimen, which for many years held the highest grade and, moreover, features a “radar” serial number. An extraordinary specimen. The auction where I acquired this exceptional banknote was a rollercoaster of emotions. The frantic pace of bidding, a multitude of bidders, and no time to analyze how many more times I’d have to raise the bid. And when “for the third time” was finally called out, I felt like a child who had finally reached a toy on the top shelf.format_quote
