Uruguay 1872 P. Valdez & Co. Tacuarembo 10 Centesimos unissued note with harvest scene, lith. Bauer, Rincon 72 Montevideo

Uruguay 1872 - P. Valdez & Co., Tacuarembo 10 Centesimos Unissued (Pick Unlisted)

The green 10 Centesimos served as the lower denomination of a two-note series alongside a brown 20 Centesimos. Both were produced in bound counterfoil books, as shown by the wide left margin and binding perforations. Design: single-sided green lithograph with an agricultural harvest scene of field workers cutting and binding grain. The legend DIEZ CENTESIMOS sits in ornate rosettes marked 10, with the Bauer imprint at base. The N in the printed word Numero appears reversed, a minor plate flaw noted in contemporary descriptions. Some examples are known with an oval back stamp reading JABONERIA DE PABLO VALDEZ TACUAREMBO. Read more →

Uruguay 1872 P. Valdez & Co. Tacuarembo 20 Centesimos unissued note with classical vignette, lith. Bauer, Rincon 72 Montevideo

Uruguay 1872 - P. Valdez & Co., Tacuarembo 20 Centesimos Unissued (Pick Unlisted)

Considerably scarcer than the 10 Centesimos, this 20 Centesimos note represents one of the few surviving examples of private merchant scrip from Uruguay’s frontier economy. Together, the two Valdez denominations illustrate how local initiative substituted trust and commerce for absent national coinage in 1870s Uruguay. Read more →

Uruguay 1867 Banco Oriental 10 Pesos equals 1 Doblón de Oro Sellado issued banknote, dual handwritten circulation signatures at left and right, serial number 23286, Pick S385a, plate position pp B

Uruguay 1867 - Banco Oriental 10 Pesos = 1 Doblón de Oro Sellado Dual Handwritten Signatures at Left and Right Serial 23286 Issued Note (Pick S385a)

The obverse design is identical to the standard 1867 Banco Oriental issue, featuring allegorical female figures representing Commerce and Abundance at left, the national coat of arms at right, and a prominent central orange guilloche bearing the inscription “UN DOBLÓN DE ORO SELLADO.” This inscription emphasized gold convertibility and was central to public confidence in privately issued paper money during Uruguay’s mid-nineteenth-century monetary development.

Great Britain c. 1900 Thomas Cook and Son 20 Pounds Circular Note, serial No. 1163727 S, with blue and green security printing, Circular Note for Twenty Pounds title, £20 denomination, Letter of Indication payment wording, twelve-month validity notice, multiple punch cancellations, clipped lower-right corner, and blank reverse.

Great Britain c. 1900 - Thomas Cook and Son 20 Pounds Circular Note, Cancelled Unissued Note (Pick Unlisted)

The face is headed by a large THOMAS COOK & SON title extending across the upper central field. Beneath it appears the serial number No. 1163727 S at the left, the place of issue London in script at center, and a partially preprinted date field beginning with 19 at the right. The remaining date was intended to be completed when the instrument entered use, so the printed 19 does not establish the precise year of production. Immediately below, the principal title reads CIRCULAR NOTE FOR TWENTY POUNDS, with a large script £20 denomination positioned prominently at the right.
