Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 156)
This note is the foundation of the entire 5 Pesos 1907 to 1912 revalidation group. The cataloged 1912 state overprint issue, Pick 127, was created directly by applying the January 1912 state-emission overprint to this Pick 156 base design. The rarer dual-side state and Treasury revalidation variety also uses this same Pick 156 foundation, but adds both the face state overprint and the reverse “Departamento de Hacienda – Junta Fiscalizadora” validation under the decree of 20 May 1912. This issued Pick 156 therefore stands as the clean reference point for the whole administrative ladder: original bank obligation, state-revalidated issue, and Treasury-fiscalized issue. Read more →
