Uruguay 1935 - Departamento de Emisión del Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 1,000 Pesos Large-Format Presentation Photo Proof Pair (Pick Unlisted)

Certified by Professional Coin Grading Service Currency as Choice About New 58 and described on the holder as mounted on cardstock, this piece survives as a complete face-and-back photographic proof ensemble. Its preservation within the original large-format mount distinguishes it from later, smaller presentation proofs and standard archival dispersals. As a result, it must be regarded not merely as a proof of a banknote design, but as a physical artifact of the design and approval process itself. Read more →

Bradbury, Wilkinson and Company engraved portrait die proof of José Gervasio Artigas, reference 192A, printed on India paper and mounted on card with cancellation notation

Uruguay 1920 - Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company José Gervasio Artigas Engraved Portrait Die Proof (Reference 192A, Cancelled)

The printed cancellation confirms that this vignette was officially voided and removed from further consideration or reuse by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company. Retained thereafter solely as an internal record, the proof survives as a pure engraving artifact rather than a currency object, documenting the British contribution to Uruguay’s state iconography during the early interwar period.

Edo-period Japanese 5 Momme Silver hansatsu printed by woodblock on handmade washi paper, showing vertical kanji inscriptions, circular and boxed validation seals, an oil merchant seal, and a reverse design with Daikokuten, rice bale symbolism, and ornamental wave-pattern security carving.

Japan 1800 - Edo Period 5 Momme Silver Hansatsu with Daikokuten Reverse and Oil Merchant Validation Seal Woodblock Printed on Handmade Washi Paper

The reverse also includes dense ornamental wave-pattern carving and patterned border work. These designs added visual richness, but they also served a practical security purpose. Complicated woodblock patterns were difficult to imitate convincingly, especially for an amateur forger. Together with the seals, calligraphy, deity vignette, and handmade paper, the design created a multi-layered anti-counterfeiting system built from the tools available before industrial banknote printing.

A round control punch appears at the right, and both printed facsimile signatures are present, confirming the sheet as a presentation-stage proof from the original approval process. These characteristics connect it directly with the companion 50 Dollars rejected design proof from the same 23 March 1965 submission, establishing both pieces as parallel records of the first design direction shown to the bank.

Paraguay 1856 2 Reales Tesoro Nacional Treasury Note, earliest national paper money of Paraguay, signed by Matias Reina and Santiago Ozcariz, Pick Unlisted and attributed as Miguel Pratt MC14.

Paraguay 1856 - Tesoro Nacional 2 Reales Treasury Note, Earliest National Paper Money (Pick Unlisted, Miguel Pratt MC14)

This example preserves the handmade and improvised nature of Paraguay's earliest fiscal printing. Its thin paper, uneven inking, blank reverse, manuscript signatures, and locally printed format are not merely production details; they are evidence of a young state creating sovereign money with the limited tools available in Asuncion. As a Pick Unlisted note attributed in specialized Latin American references as Miguel Pratt MC14, it stands outside the standard world-paper-money catalog sequence and represents a primary artifact of Paraguay's monetary origins.

Jersey 1840 Bible Christian Church Royal Crescent £1 remainder promissory note

Jersey 1840 - Bible Christian Church, Royal Crescent £1 Remainder (Pick Unlisted)

The Bible Christian Church was a distinct Methodist branch active on Jersey during the 1837–1850 period, operating schools, chapels, and local relief programs. Financial instruments of this kind were produced in extremely small numbers and were not part of any formal island-wide banknote system. Surviving remainders are scarce and often represent the only material evidence of these local religious-financial networks. Read more →

Poland 1940 - 10 Zlotych Bank Emisyjny w Polsce Prefix C Kraków Issue Approval Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

The obverse follows established Polish banknote conventions developed during the late interwar period. Allegorical female figures, symmetrical composition, and restrained ornamentation reflect a conscious continuation of pre-1939 visual language. This continuity was intentional: for a denomination intended for frequent everyday use, recognizability and formal stability took precedence over stylistic innovation. Read more →
