Dustin's Picks Director of Currency Auctions

German East Africa: Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank 500 Rupien 2.9.1912 Pick 5 This was the highest denomination issued under German occupation of East Africa, and is rarely ever seen in issued form, let alone in this grade.

DC-23 $1 1917 Proof, Vignettes, and News Photo Engraving and printing of notes is an incredible art, one that involves an incredible amount of work and talent. Lots with archival printings and images are incredible for their historical value. This one features Princess Patricia, one of the most graceful of engravings on Canadian Currency.

Fiji: Reserve Bank of Fiji 2000 Dollars 2000 Pick 103a While Americans were stocking up on batteries and canned food for the year 2000, the rest of the world was embracing the change, including Fiji that, specifically created a $2,000 denomination for the event.

Michael's Picks Consignment Director

Montreal, PQ- Banque D'Hochelaga: $5 Jan. 2, 1874 Ch. # 360-10-06 A new discovery for the 1874 issue from this banking institution that is the first available to collectors. Despite the time it spent in circulation it still displays bright inks and likely shown off by a previous owner many years ago. Sure to appeal to many Canadian Charter collectors.

Japan: Bank of Japan 200 Yen ND (1927) Pick 37Bs Specimen The simplistic design elements combined with the red specimen overprints gives the note plenty of eye appeal. Its finest known status will surely make this piece realize a strong price.

Zanzibar: Zanzibar Government 20 Rupees 1.1.1908 Pick 4cts Color Trial Specimen Any note from this storied country tends to cause excitement. This note is very special as it combines not only rarity but a high grade as well. As a Specimen note it is the only example currently graded by PMG and may possibly fall into a low six figure realization.

Frank's Picks Cataloger

Great Britain: British Military Authority £1 ND (1943-45) Pick M6b Bulgaria Overprint A World War II note that is one of only 25 prepared. The British Military Authority issue with the "Bulgaria" overprint is one that all serious military collectors desire. These notes were part of an elaborate misinformation campaign in order to keep the Germans off balance in regards to the intentions of where the Allies might invade. The actual invasion plans of the Anglo-American forces were directed at French North Africa in November 1942. These overprinted notes played a small part in the Allies start to beat back the Germans.

Hong Kong: Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation $5 1.1.1923 Pick 166 This Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation $5 from 1923 is a high grade rarity and may be the finest of the type. Our bidders recognize this as it has already drawn a great deal of attention and that has resulted in strong bidding with two weeks to go until the hammer falls.

Philippines: Victory Series 500 Pesos ND (1944) Pick 101c A Pacific Theatre World War II note with this being the highest denomination of the Victory Series. The Victory Series was prepared in 1944 for use in the Philippines upon the return of General MacArthur and the subsequent liberation from the Japanese. The 500 Pesos was the first denomination of this issue to be demonetized by the Philippine government due to its high purchasing power. This produced a great rarity with our current offering being nicely preserved and earning a grade of PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ.
