We are pleased to offer the first treasury banknote (not a vale) of Honduras. This is reportedly the first of two series from 1880. Unlisted and unknown by Brian Stickney and Alcedo Almanzar in their book "The Coinage and Paper Money of Honduras (1981)". They do list the second series dated November 1880 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Pesos. While this first series apparently has the same denominations, the present example is the only surviving denomination from either series. Without signatures. Small hole top right; few small margin pieces missing; couple tears. Of great historical significance and one of the three rarest bank notes of Honduras. Tremendous opportunity.

Lot #512 - World Paper Money > Russia - ($ 75,000.00 - $ 150,000.00)
S870Aa 5000 Rubles 1.1.1920
Five percent Treasury Note payable in 1921. Double headed eagle/wavy line back design as underprint. Extremely rare American Bank Note Company type; without imprint. During the Russian Civil War, the Kolchak government's Minister of Finance ordered 200,000 of these notes from ABNC on October 15, 1919. These completed pieces were reportedly sent in November and were to have reached Vladivostok in late December. As heavy factional fighting was occurring, it is speculated that the entire printing was lost or destroyed. Kolchak resigned on January 4, 1920. The notes were never issued; to find an example with a full serial number is truly extraordinary. According to one specialist Russian cataloger, only two notes are known; while more than this exist, it is very likely fewer than five examples. We offered and sold the only other issued piece I have ever seen, VG/Fine with a couple small holes and few small spots on back, at PCDA 2009; it hammered for $13,000. The present example has one light fold at center and minor handling at lower right margin. Completely unpriced in the Standard Catalog. A lifetime opportunity to acquire a highly sought note in superb condition that by all rights should not exist!

1a .50 Franc D. 11.2.1917
One of the rarest of the World War I French emergency small change issues is this epic type from Upper Senegal and Niger. Several years ago, one prominent authority believed that only five or six existed; that number may be a little higher now. Upper Senegal and Niger was the precursor to French Sudan; the name change occurred following World War I. The Standard Catalog states that a 1 and/or 2 Francs "probably exist"; I have NEVER heard of any kind of report indicating this to be the case. PMG terms this "Ch. UNC 64"; tied with two others as the best of four listed on the population report. The most recent examples, from 2016, have hammered at $6500 and $6000. A centerpiece and classic rarity for any collection.
