Lot 80939: Argentina Banco Provincial de Cordoba 10 Pesos
Argentina
Banco Provincial de Cordoba
S738b 10 Pesos 1.1.1881
Dean Funes and provincial cathedral/arms. PMG terms this "VF 30 minor restoration"; by itself, far better than the only other two examples on the population report.
A complex design - unusual, but still pleasant.

Lot 81157: 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.

Lot 81218: 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.

Unusual two-part layout; pretty colors.
