Foreword

Archives International Auctions, Part X, WORLDWIDE BANKNOTES I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the Archives International Auction Team for your continued participation in our auctions over the last four years. We have been fortunate to offer many rare and interesting banknotes and related material as well as discovering unchartered (or cataloged) areas of collecting interest. We make every effort to locate those special and hard to find items, not just expensive and rare notes, but items only a serious specialist or long term collector would appreciate but is rarely fortunate enough to ever acquire for their collection. The current auction includes many interesting and rare items that rarely cross the auction block. We are fortunate to have an amazing old-time collection of banknotes with many notes rarely coming to auction. Included is an amazing 1950’s Commonwealth of Australia, 10 Pounds, P-32 Specimen that has never been offered publically previously; 60 issued, proof and specimen Chinese notes with many rare and desirable offerings such as the Russo-Asiatic bank, 1915 2 Gold fen Issued Note, Lot #124; two discovery note proofs from Colombia’s El Banco Americano, 1883 issue; 5 different Danish West Indies notes dating from 1890-1905; Lot 189, a mind boggling double denomination error of a 10 Shilling face on a 5 Shilling back on an East Africa Currency Board 1921 Issue with correspondence relating to the note; a new estate find of 6 different early Fiji notes that rarely appear in auction; A monster Banque De L’Indochine, Pondichery 1915 Issued note in amazing condition, lot #231; The Bank of Hindostan, 1830’s Issue banknote, Lot #309; a set of 3 high grade Sin Chun Bank of China notes that are spectacular; large offerings of Lebanon Specimens; numerous issued early India notes; Mexico issued, proof and specimen banknotes; Iraq and Iran note offerings; a very attractive group of Russian notes including an early Imperial Specimen; a large holding of Union Bank of Scotland specimens from the archives that have been off the market since the original auctions (in the 1970-80’s); South Africa is represented by a group of respectable and rarely seen color trials, essays and issued notes; and two Suriname issue trophy notes that are missing from most advanced collections. In addition, hundreds of other desirable notes are being offered from dozens of countries at every collector and price level, for the beginning collector to advanced specialist. We are looking forward to our Winter-Spring auction season with our Scripophily and Banknote auction in mid to late March.

Best of Luck,

Bob Schwartz

128 Chan Wai Seng Bank, Chewsang, (Kwangtung Province)1913, $200 Private Bank Issue. Kwangtung Province, China, 1 May Year 2 of the Republic (1913), $200, P-Unlisted, (S/M# Unlisted), Specimen or sample from the Hong Kong Printing Press archive, Chewsang issue, one of only two notes known from this bank. Chewsang (Kwangtung Province). The Hong Kong Printing Press archive of eastern Kwangtung notes was sold in the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and came into the possession of the consignor of this note. In the archive surviving notes were glued into a scrapbook, normally only one example, occasionally two. Of the notes of this bank only two pieces were saved, or possibly only one denomination was printed by the Hong Kong Printing Press. At any rate in the archive there are only two pieces of the $200 note. $200 was the highest denomination note printed by the Hong Kong Printing Press, and apparently only three banks ordered notes of this denominaton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in addition to the Chan Wai Seng Bank, the Hip Sing Hing Bank and the Ying Yu Sang Chong Bank of Chow Chew also printed a $200. In the record books of the Hong Kong Printing Press there were only five pieces in total of $200, while only two banks were domiciled on Chewsang, this bank and in addition the Sin Seng Cheong Bank. As a side note, the ancestors of many Singapore citizens came from Chewsang and the surrounding area, thus the dialect Chew Chow, or Chow Chew. Extreme rarity of the highest order, a strikingly attractive note that may never come to auction again. Est. $10000-15000

291 Islands Banki, Unique Presentation Set, 1904 Issue, Prepared for Mr. P.O.A. Andersen of 4 Color Trial Notes. Iceland, 1904, Islands Banki, Unique presentation set prepared for Mr. P.O.A. Andersen, Permanent Secretary of the Danish Treasury 1899-1929. 8 color trial specimens (4 Uniface fronts and 4 backs), in blue-grey, orange and light blue: 5 Kroner color trial of face in blue-grey, orange, and pale blue. 10 Kroner color trial of face in blue-grey, orange, and pale blue. 50 Kroner color trial of face in blue-grey, orange, and pale blue. 100 Kroner color trial of face in blue-grey, orange, and pale blue. Each note has serial 0000 serial numbers; the 50 and 100 with five digits, the 5 and 10 with six digits. In 1904 Iceland gained home rule; accordingly the note issue was invested in the Islands Banki (Bank of Iceland) and these beautiful notes were ordered from Europe’s finest banknote printer, Giesecke & Devrient. The printer prepared several sets of trials in various colors. In issued form the 5 Kroner of this series occasionally turns up. The 10 Kroner is extremely rare issued. Of the 50 Kroner (which was not reprinted in 1920 with the new date), one issued note is believed to have been known, this discovered in Scotland some years ago. Of the 100 Kroner, the serial #1 is believed to be in the Central Bank of Iceland. No other issued examples of the 50 and 100 are believed to exist. A unique and truly beautiful set, and an exceptionally rare and important offering. The notes lovely and classics on the world banknote scene and missing from almost every advanced collection.

Terms & Condition of Sales:Layout 1 10/9/11 12:36 AM Page 1

CONDITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE ceived by Archives International Auctions as agents for the consignor or vendor.

BIDDING 1.

Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalogue. Archives International Auctions, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Archives International Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith. Estimates of sales prices contained in the printed Catalogue reflect the best judgment of Archives International Auctions and are not minimum or upset prices.

(b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale (“Non-Complying Bidder”), then, as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs, Archives International Auctions may, in its sole discretion, re-offer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time, or by private treaty at such time as Archives International Auctions, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and the Non-Complying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales, all other charges due thereunder, including commissions with respect to both sales, whether payable to Archives International Auctions or to a third party and all incidental damages. It shall be in Archives International Auctions’ sole discretion to determine whether to re-offer the lot theretofore hammered-down to a Non-Complying Bidder at the same auction, or by private treaty in due course, or at a subsequent auction conducted by Archives International Auctions. In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder.

(a) Bids shall be made in the steps set forth in paragraph 12. (b) The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute be tween a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who the successful bidder is and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auction eer’s sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold, a commission of 18% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer to the auctioneer.

(a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer.

(c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Archives International Auctions a security interest in property in Archives International Auctions possession owned by such purchaser. Archives International Auctions shall have all of the rights afforded a purchase money secured party under the New York or New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property and may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of, or due from Archives International Auctions to such purchaser. Archives International Auctions is authorized to file a Financing Statement in order to perfect its rights as a secured party.

(b) Lots may be offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their consigned material and Archives International Auctions therefore has a security interest in the consigned material over and above the normal auction commission.

(d) If Archives International Auctions takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account, the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Archives International Auctions to secure such payment, including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys’ fees. For purposes of this paragraph, the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by Archives International Auctions with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account.

(d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for the payment of the purchase price for all purchases made on behalf of their clients, unless other arrangements with the auctioneer have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction.

(e) Unless otherwise acceptable to Archives International Auctions, payment is to be made only in the form of cash, bank check or certified check, credit card (Visa or MasterCard only) or a bank wire transfer.

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES 4.

Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired (Con dition of Sale 8), shall be as follows: (a) Floor Bidders. Payment of the purchase price, or such part there of as Archives International Auctions shall require, shall be made by the purchaser in cash or bank or certified check or in such other manner as Archives International Auctions may determine. The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. (b) Mail Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased. Before Archives International Auctions will send such lots, payment in full must be received by Archives International Auctions within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder. However, a purchaser known to Archives International Auctions at its option may have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dollar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers). Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by Archives International Auctions of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery. All charges for handling, delivery and insurance obtained by Archives International Auctions on behalf of the purchaser shall be added to the purchase price; a minimum charge of $10.00 will be made. Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser.

Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been re-

(a) Purchasers agree to pay for lots as specified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended; a late payment charge of 2% per month or fraction thereof shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid conditions.

EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7.

(a) On Premises Inspection only. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date, and, upon written request and at Archives International Auctions discretion. (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described, based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue. (c) Quality. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to Archives International Auctions within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser (“Returning Purchaser”), provided, however, that the same is received by Archives International Auctions within four weeks of the date of the auction; however, Archives International Auctions may, in its discretion, refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, the period of time within which a lot must be received by Archives International Auctions will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority, and Archives International Auctions thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to thedescription disputed, the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale

Terms & Condition of Sales:Layout 1 10/9/11 12:36 AM Page 2

The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Archives International Auctions: (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers; (iii) lots on account of their appearance, if they are illustrated in this Catalogue; or (iv) lots described as having repairs, defects or faults for any reason. (d) Authenticity. Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable, provided such lot is received by Archives International Auctions within four weeks of the date of the auction. Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred a purchaser in the submission and the return of a lot under Conditions of Sale 7 are not subject to refund. SALES TAX 8.

Unless presentation of satisfactory proof that it is exempted by law, a purchaser shall pay to Archives International Auctions New Jersey or New York State and local sales taxes, or any compensating use taxes of any other State claiming jurisdiction.
