EAST AFRICA. British Administration. 5 Rupees, 1905. P-1A. PMG Very Fine 25.B101a. An absolute treasure, and the first of the type we have handled in recent memory. Printed by Thomas De La Rue in 1905 for the British Administration, this note shows with standard circulation for the grade, with the typical minor rust, stains, and tears, which are mentioned in the comments section. This is the only note for the type graded by PMG, and as such, is certainly missing from many advanced collections. Therefore, we expect very spirited bidding on this rarity.
