Incredible Colonial Rarity in Uncirculated Grade
German East Africa Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank 500 Rupien
2.9.1912 Pick 5 PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.One of the most famous and desirable of all African banknotes. This handsome and large format type was the highest denomination of Emperor Wilhelm II series that was dated 1905 and 1912. Simply stunning design elements are present on this beautiful note, which was printed in small numbers and is therefore very rare today. This offering is tied with three others and bettered by only one in the PMG Population Report at the time of cataloging. Minor toning is mentioned for accuracy. Instantly recognizable as a famed rarity and a superior banknote in this elite grade.
