Paraguay 1907 100 Pesos Banco de la República note with 1912 Emisión del Estado state overprint on the face, Pick 134, base Pick 159, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated Top Pop

Paraguay 1907 - 100 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 134, Base Pick 159)

This certified example is especially important because issued 1912 overprint notes normally survived in circulated condition. High-denomination emergency paper was not produced for collectors; it was made to solve an immediate fiscal problem and was expected to work in the economy. Most examples were handled, redeemed, withdrawn, damaged, or lost. A PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated survivor with original paper quality is therefore extraordinary. The grade places this note at the very top level of preservation for the type, and the EPQ designation confirms the exceptional originality of the paper surface. Read more →
