Description
Incredible 1000 Francs from Kinshasa Dated 1920
Belgian Congo Banque du Congo Belge, Kinshasa 1000 Francs
3.11.1920 Pick 12b PMG Extremely Fine 40.Belgian Congo banknotes have always appealed to collectors worldwide, due to their incredible designs, tropical locale, and rarity in the best of collector grades. This 1000 Francs was the highest denomination of the first full series of banknotes printed for and issued in the Belgian Congo, which includes notes from 5 Francs to 1000 Francs. At the time of cataloging, this is one of only two Kinshasa-issue 1000 Francs of this type graded in the PMG Population Report. Additionally, PMG has not graded any 1000 Francs of this design from any other city of issue. Extremely rare, as print totals were small and only a few exist to be collected today. Brief circulation, a minor corner stain, small tears, and pinholes are mentioned for accuracy. A design virtually unseen and type note definitely missing from nearly all collections.
