COLOMBIA. Banco de la República de Colombia. 500 Pesos Oro. July 20, 1923. P-367s. Specimen.The series key, this is a significant, highest denomination Specimen from the 1923 Kammerer series. Issued notes are not known to us and Eldorado does not have one (there were only 6,000 printed). There were only two face and back proof pairs from the 1990 ABN sale in the first sale, with each of those pairs bringing $5,280 in determined bidding. Zero numbers and SPECIMEN in red. The three Specimen notes of this type in the Eldorado Collection are the only examples known to us. This is the finest by far with exceptional colors and paper. Certainly worth in excess of the two proof pairs auctioned previously. Worthy of flirting with or exceeding five-figures.
