Jamaica � Government of Jamaica 5 Shillings Laws of 1904 & 1918 P-32a. PCGS Very Good 10 Apparent. The smaller-denomination notes were issued by the government while the pound and higher notes were issued by the private banks. This scarce Waterlow-printed note is in very collectible condition. An oval profile portrait of George V is at upper right; there is a highly detailed waterfall vignette in a cartouche at the center with island harvesting scenes on either side: sugar cane at the left and bananas at the right. The back shows a river view and fruit. Printed in brown, which has become subdued to gray hue, and with some soiling. Noted with "Small Edge Splits." A very presentable example of a note type that was hard used to make change. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20351, realized $312. |
