CEYLON. Government of Ceylon. 1000 Rupees, 23.3.1918. P-15s. Specimen. PMG Very Fine 25.An incredible rarity from Ceylon. The present offering is the only example in any format currently listed in the PMG population report. Regular serial numbers, with black SPECIMEN overprints on both top and bottom on the front. Uniface, with contemporary annotations on the back, and in all likelihood an issued note that was overstamped SPECIMEN following withdrawal from circulation. Signatures are of R.E. Stubbs and Bernard Senior. This high-denomination note is surely missing from even the most advanced collections, and this type has never been offered by us before. Small holes (most likely insect damage) and mounting remnants are visible, but the paper quality is otherwise quite decent, and the green color of the underprint is especially vibrant. PMG Comments "Paper Damage, Previously Mounted, Annotations."From the Bay of Bengal Collection.
