Mexico � Banco de Chihuahua 25 Centavos 1889 P-S118a. PCGS Very Fine 30. The lowest denomination from this series and in lovely condition for a note that circulated heavily to make change. Printed by the American Bank Note Company, it is a small-format note with yellow tint. A stirring, full-length portrait of a mother with a baby in a sling on her back, and an older boy, seemingly chilly as he huddles within his serape, is at the right end. Series A. The green back has lovely lathe work and a bright red stamp. Excellent grade for this rare type. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20363, realized $192. |
