Cayman Islands Currency Board unissued photographic back proof for the five dollars denomination, circa 1970, featuring a sailing vessel maritime vignette prepared as a standalone reverse security surface

Cayman Islands 1970 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Unissued Back Photographic Proof

As a design-stage survival, this photographic proof records an otherwise undocumented moment in the development of Cayman Islands higher-denomination currency. No issued five dollars note corresponds directly to this specific back proof format, and no institutional archival duplicates are recorded. The object therefore stands as a discrete documentary artifact of Cayman Islands currency design evolution rather than as a component of an issued banknote. Read more →

Argentina 1869 Banco Domingo Garbino 1 Peso Fuerte issued note, Pick S1802, overprint on Banco Oxandaburu y Garbino Pick S1791, red BANCO DOMINGO GARBINO overprint, PMG 63 EPQ

Argentina 1869 - Banco Domingo Garbino, 1 Peso Fuerte Issued Note with Red Overprint (Pick S1802)

The underlying note itself reads EL BANCO OXANDABURU Y GARBINO, preserving the corrected GARBINO spelling directly in the 1869 printed design. This connects the note with the earlier 1867 Oxandaburu y Garvino issues from Gualeguaychu, where Domingo Luis Garbino's surname appeared on the printed notes as GARVINO. The physical notes therefore document a clear printed progression from GARVINO in the 1867 partnership issue to GARBINO in the 1869 series. Read more →

United States Series 1934A 10 Dollars North Africa Silver Certificate with yellow Treasury seal, Friedberg 2309, graded PCGS 35 Very Fine, featuring portrait of Alexander Hamilton.

United States 1934A - 10 Dollars North Africa Silver Certificate (Friedberg 2309), PCGS 35 Very Fine

The Series 1934A 10 Dollars North Africa Silver Certificate, cataloged as Friedberg 2309, belongs to the distinctive emergency issues produced during the Second World War. Commonly known as the 'North Africa' notes, these certificates were printed with a yellow Treasury seal rather than the standard blue seal of Silver Certificates. The color modification was deliberate - a wartime security measure designed so that, if large quantities were captured by enemy forces, they could be immediately declared invalid. Read more →
