REGISTERING TO BID
New clients must register online to bid (whether in person or in absentia). This can be done via our website www.noonans.co.uk
Registrations will be subject to due diligence and Noonans reserves the right to cancel registrations.
Once registered, any client bidding for the rst time online will need to enter their card details so that a security check can be performed to authorise you to bid (www.noonans.co.uk >Your Account > Account Authorisation). This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted.
BIDDING PRIORITY
Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we o er an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.
PLACING BIDS
LIVE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
You may bid in real time from your computer or mobile device. We provide an optional live video and audio feed of the auctioneer, allowing you to participate in much the same way as attending the auction. You may see your invoice and pay online directly after you’ve nished bidding. There is no additional charge for this facility.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
We strongly advise this method if you wish to leave bids in advance as it is the easiest, most accurate and exible way to leave your bids and gives you total control over them right up to the point that the lot is o ered for sale. Bids made online cannot be seen by others and only become live at the point the lot is being sold. Up until this time your bids can be easily altered or cancelled. An automated email is sent to con rm any changes made. There is no additional charge for online bidding.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA POST, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post, email or telephone, it should be noted that all bids left with us in these ways will be entered at our o ces using exactly the same bidding facility to which all our clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
If you are registered with Noonans you may bid by email to bids@noonans.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 4 PM on the day preceding the sale.

Welcome to the nal Noonans World Banknotes auction of 2024. This has been an extremely busy year for us at Noonans, with a great many banknote shows and multiple visits to India, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, the Netherlands, and Dubai among others. We have o ered more lots than ever before, and achieved many exceptional results, especially with prestigious named collections such as The Frank Goon Reference Collection, The Mount Damavand Collection of Persia, and The Trevor Wilkinson Collection of Siege Notes.
This large auction contains some of the most interesting notes we have o ered this year. First and foremost is a spectacular section of Southern Rhodesia notes, including all three types of £10 notes: both signatures from 1953, and the astonishingly rare 1954 date. This selection is part of a larger, but still limited, group of notes discovered in the UK recently, but the notes o ered in this catalogue represent the rarest and the nest grades, so get them while you can.
Some other highlights include an array of wonderful quality hand-painted artworks and essays from several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Libya, Morocco and Jordan. These unique items are proving ever more popular as time moves on, as collectors are realising just how limited in number they really are. The Saudi artworks in particular are something special, and accompany a wide range of scarce specimen notes, including the remaining three printers’ specimens from the 2007 issue, some of which we sold at Noonans in August. It is
worth mentioning the wonderful Swedish section of this catalogue, which features a wide array of absolutely stunning specimens and issued examples of the many nineteenth-century private bank issues. The quality of the design and engraving is legendary, and it is unusual to see so many of these in one place nowadays.
We have more notes on o er from our most loyal (and to be honest, only) bovine vendor, the Red Ox, who is selling some lovely notes from Maldives, Burma, Palestine and others. The Red Ox has been absent for a little while, but has been sharpening his collecting horns and we will be seeing much more of him over the next year or so. We are ending the sale with the next part of the Laurence Pope Collection of Portuguese Colonial Banknotes. This is part six of eight and as ever, Laurence is o ering a huge range of notes from all eight of the Portuguese colonies, mainly consisting of scarce and beautiful archival specimens and proofs, along with some interesting photos and the occasional essay.
Following this auction, Noonans are also o ering The Cook Collection of Central and Eastern European Banknotes. This exceptional collection has its own catalogue, and features notes from Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia, among others.
Whichever of the lovely notes in the sale you may be interested in, all of us at Noonans wish you the best of luck with your bids. Andrew, Thomasina, Michael and Barnaby

THE LAURENCE POPE COLLECTION OF PORTUGUESE COLONIAL BANKNOTES
PART SIX
Part Six of my collection, once again includes a selection of notes, proofs and archival photographs from all ve of the Portuguese African colonies and all three of the Portuguese Asian colonies, together with a few post-independence notes. Highlights from Angola include a 50 Mil Reis specimen of 1909 and a colour trial of the 500 Angolares of 1927, together with unique archival photographs of unadopted designs submitted by Bradbury Wilkinson.
The Cape Verde section contains a unique annotated proof of the 100$00 note of 1921, with Decreto, which was never issued and a remarkable complete print run of the 14 archival specimens for the 50$00 of 1945. The specimen with serial run 120,001 to 140,000 was the note I acquired to complete all of the 64 archival specimens for the 1945 series and I will never forget the day I bought it at considerable cost. The dealer who sold it to me said he would have doubled the price if he had known!
For Macau, there is a rare printer’s archival specimen for the 20 Patacas of 1948 and Portuguese India features items from the 1945 and 1959 series including a 10 Rupia colour trial. The extensive Mozambique o ering features
excessively rare archival specimens from the 1908 series. Only 2 copies of the 20 Mil Reis are known, this is far the nest, and the two known are not the same, having minor di erences, neither being listed in Pick. The 50 Mil Reis 1908 is almost as rare and this example is the only one that was found in the De La Rue archive. Also included are complete print runs of archival specimens for the 5$00 of 1941 and the 100$00 of 1943, and a remarkable set of archival photographs of a never issued 1977 post-independence series. The Portuguese Guinea section includes the last remaining copy of the 5 Mil Reis of 1909 in the collection and a complete set of the print runs for the 50$00 1964.
There are numerous notes, which are illustrated in the BNU Catalogue and PMG have recorded these as Plate Notes on the reverses of their holders. Where appropriate, PMG have also added the catalogue’s numerous sub-references, which appear in green print in the lower right corners of their holder strips. I have made the reserves as low as possible and I wish you well in the fun of the chase. Happy bidding and good luck!

Please note that we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 ( ve thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction.
7 Noonans may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the buyer before an auction under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due’.
8 Any payments by a buyer to Noonans may be applied by Noonans towards any sums owing from that buyer to Noonans on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied.

11 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased
The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control.
Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless speci cally instructed otherwise by the consignee.
12 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase
If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Noonans as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or
more of the following rights and remedies:
(a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
(b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction.
(c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Noonans any resulting de ciency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller.
(d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Noonans’ premises or elsewhere. (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction.
(f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the sale or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due’.
(g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future.
(h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Noonans’ possession for any purpose.
13 Liability of Noonans and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identi cation only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by Noonans, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded.
(b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to Noonans within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If Noonans is satis ed that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if:
(i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a con ict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a
‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scienti c processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical.
(c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage su ered or expense incurred by him or her.
(d) The bene t of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by Noonans in respect of the lot sold.
CONDITIONS MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS AND CONSIGNORS
14 Warranty of title and availability
The seller warrants to Noonans and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify Noonans, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage su ered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller.
15 Reserves
The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the rst day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of Noonans. Noonans may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller.
16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses
The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 17 Rescission of sale
If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justi ed, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot.
18 Payment of sale proceeds
Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans will remit the sale proceeds within ve working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller.
19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the
‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as Noonans shall in its absolute discretion think t, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate.
20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans.
21 Charges for withdrawn lots
Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15% of Noonans’ then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property.
22 Rights to photographs and illustrations
The seller gives Noonans full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction).
23 Unsold lots
Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-o er the lot for sale or to collect the lot.
24 Noonans reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots.
GENERAL CONDITIONS AND DEFINITIONS
25 Noonans sells as agent for the seller (except where it is stated wholly or partly to own any lot as principal) and as such is not responsible for any default by seller or buyer.
