Jamaica � Colonial Bank 1 Pound Nov. 2, 1903 P-S171. PCGS Very Fine 30 Apparent. A rare, large format note type and an unlisted date in the SCWPM. Printed on an early Perkins, Bacon & Co. plate, but reworked for this series of later notes. Gray printing is on both sides. The Royal Arms appears at the top with the incorporation date underneath; oval ONE/Sterling/POUND counters are flanking. Borders show COLONIAL BANK at the top and JAMAICA at the bottom. On the back, COLONIAL BANK is across the three central dies. Fully issued with penned signatures and counter initials at the left end. Solid paper overall, but some minor faults are noted by PCGS: "Rust Stains and Minor Damage." A pleasing example, and another discovery for collectors to enjoy. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20009, realized $3360. |
