Lot 81157: Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China 5 Mexican Dollars

Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China 5 Mexican Dollars

China
Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China
S192 5 Mexican Dollars 18.4.1907

As a stable currency for hundreds of years, the Mexican dollar was used for many decades in China and other parts of Asia. All Mexican dollar types in any collectible condition are inherently titillating and very difficult to come by. This example is particularly captivating. Strong original color, particular with the underprint. Supported royal arms at center. PMG terms this "VF 20" (and again the color gives an even better impression); only one better, at VF 25, of a mere five on the population report. A wonderful treasure for any collection.

An important and seldom-seen rarity. -Editor

Lot 81218: Colombia Banco de Panama 50 Pesos

Colombia Banco de Panama 50 Pesos

Colombia
Banco de Panama
S725 50 Pesos 18xx (ca. 1869)

Highest denomination; a sensational type from this dynamic series with LOW SERIAL NUMBER #388. Planas at left and right, steamship, globe, and steam passenger train. Without signatures. PMG terms this "VF 30"; the better of only two on the population report (with the other example the next lot and only two serial numbers away!). The only other time we offered this type was eight years ago in Memphis when it hammered for 22,000.

A rare and interesting note. -Editor

S114p 5 Pesos 186x

Unusual two-part layout; pretty colors. -Editor
