Description
La Banque (Royale) July 1, 1720 10 Livres Tournois Pick #A20a PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.The La Louisiane notes have been traditionally collected as part of the Colonial era paper money series for generations. The territory of La Louisiane was expansive and surrounded the Mississippi River, as it flowed south from present-day Wisconsin and drained into the Gulf through New Orleans. Technically French issues (and listed as such in the Standard Catalogue of World Paper Money), these notes were Royal issues created by Scottish-born John Law in order to stimulate investments in the New World territories. The earliest Banque Generale notes (1716-1718), signed by Law himself, are virtually unobtainable. They were replaced by the rarely seen 1719 Banque Royale notes. The Boyd-Raymond holdings contained no 1719-dated notes, only examples with the date of 1720. This note is printed on bright white indented paper and has an embossed seal at center, with PMG mentioning only pinholes which affect little. Since the dispersal of the Boyd-Raymond-Ford notes in 2005, these have become increasingly difficult to obtain, especially in high grades. Examples that are seen in comment-free holders are more the exception than the rule.
