United States 1929 - 5 Dollars Type 2 National Bank Note - The First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Charter 1 (Fr. 1800-2)

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 100 Reales Vellón Serie A Issued Note No. 23322 (Pick S451b)

A fully issued Serie A example of the Banco de Zaragoza 100 reales vellón dated 1 May 1857, serial number 23322. This is a true issued banknote classified as Pick S451b, not a remainder or specimen.

Issued Banco de Zaragoza 500 reales vellón, Serie C No. 08785, Pick S453a, 14 May 1857

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 500 Reales Vellón Serie C Issued Note No. 08785 (Pick S453a)

Rarity is extremely high. PMG lists only one graded example for S453a, but this listing aggregates notes from multiple provincial banks and does not confirm Zaragoza attribution. No Zaragoza-issued 500 reales vellón notes are recorded in major Spanish auction archives, suggesting that only a handful of true S453a-issued examples may survive worldwide. This piece, with clear signatures, strong detail, and well-preserved surface, qualifies as R8. Read more →

Argentina 1876 Banco de San Juan 1 Peso Fuerte archival specimen printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, condor vignette, provincial private bank issue, PMG 64 EPQ

Argentina 1876 - Banco de San Juan 1 Peso Fuerte Specimen (Pick S1880s)

The Banco de San Juan operated within the interior province of San Juan during a period when Argentina’s banking system was highly decentralized. Provincial banks issued their own paper currency under legal frameworks that allowed convertibility into metallic pesos fuertes, supporting local economies centered on mining, viticulture, mule transport, and inter-Andean trade routes. These institutions functioned independently of Buenos Aires, reflecting a fragmented national monetary structure that would only be consolidated decades later. Read more →

Argentina 1876 Banco de San Juan 5 Pesos Fuertes archival specimen printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, provincial private banknote, PMG 64 EPQ

Argentina 1876 - Banco de San Juan 5 Pesos Fuertes Specimen (S1881s)

The note was produced as a specimen and never intended for circulation. Its pristine paper surfaces, absence of wear, and specimen cancellation confirm its function as an internal approval, documentation, or archival reference. There is no evidence that an issued 5 Pesos Fuertes note of this Banco de San Juan type ever entered circulation, nor is any proof state documented. Read more →

Specimen Banco de Zaragoza 200 reales vellón, Serie B No. 07958, Pick S452s, 14 May 1857

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 200 Reales Vellón Serie B Issued Note No. 07958 (Pick S4532s)

Although the broader Pick S452 census includes notes from several different issuers, PMG does not list any specimens from Banco de Zaragoza. As a result, this piece stands entirely outside population data and should be viewed as an independent rarity. Its survival indicates an extremely small original specimen distribution, likely limited to printer or bank archival holdings. Read more →
