WBNA OFFERS CHANG-MARSHALL JAMAICAN BANKNOTES

 

World Banknote Auctions is thrilled to announce its upcoming auction of the Isabella Chang Fong & Ian Marshall Collection of Jamaican Banknotes, a remarkable and unrivaled assembly of Jamaican currency. This collection, widely regarded as arguably the most extensive and specialized assortment of Jamaican banknotes of the Sterling era ever put together, will be sold to collectors and enthusiasts worldwide by World Banknote Auctions on November 3rd, 2023, at 10 AM PST.

The Isabella Chang Fong & Ian Marshall Collection stands as the result of the passion, dedication, and expertise of these collectors, who have poured countless hours into building this advanced and comprehensive collection. Their decision to offer this extraordinary assemblage to the collecting community is a testament to their profound love for the world of Jamaican banknotes. This collection showcases what many years of dedicated collecting in world paper money can result in said Dennis Hengeveld, President of World Banknote Auctions. While other collections of Jamaican banknotes have formed over the years, none have come close to the breadth and scope of the Isabella Chang Fong & Ian Marshall Collection, giving today's generation of collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The breadth and scope of the collection is truly astonishing. The earliest note in the collection is from the 1820s and is in fact the earliest paper money specifically printed for the British West Indies. From there, numerous extremely rare 19th century issues are included, most of which are unique or nearly so. The government issues of the Sterling era, starting in 1918, are complete by Pick number including numerous non-issued varieties. Besides issued notes the collection includes not just one of each specimen but often multiple specimens, each distinguished by unique annotations and characteristics. Furthermore, this remarkable collection boasts an impressive array of trials, some of the most spectacular ever seen in the market. Private bank issues in this collection exhibit a staggering variety and depth. For example, in the Barclays Bank section, a trio of serial number 1 notes is offered which are the very first notes printed for the Jamaican branch of this important bank, the successor to the famous Colonial Bank.

All lots of this collection are now posted to the company's website and are open for bidding. A copy of the printed catalog is available on the firm's website. The buyer's premium for this sale is 20%, and like all World Banknote Auctions' sales convenient payment methods and flat-rate shipping is offered.
