Incredible Colombo, Ceylon 5 Rijksdaalders of 1795

Ceylon / Netherlands Indies United East India Company 5 Rijksdaalders, Kolumbo 17.9.1795 Pick UNL PLCE2.1.a4 PMG Very Fine 30 Net.
An imposing and very rare relic from Dutch Rule in Ceylon. This enormous Letter of Credit note displays Dutch, Sinhala, and Tamil texts at front. An almost overwhelming amount of written text, written in numerous languages, shows a detailed ledger of interest collecting activity that extends into the 20th-century. After its lengthy service was concluded, this gigantic note was cancelled on both sides in black. This example features the final date of series and was printed without folio letters. The extra side half was never detached. Tears and stains are mentioned for accuracy. An incredible offering from the 18th-century. Outstanding and extremely rare.
