A rare diversionary forgery in an excellent state of preservation for this type of bill.
One of the prettiest pieces we had in the auction offer. The coin is usually listed in average states of preservation.
Paper with characteristic zigzag watermark.
An interesting piece because with additional annotations on the reverse of the W.K.B. and numbering typical of patterns of the period "204", hence we can assume that this was a preview piece/template for cashiers, alternatively an archival piece. Clerical numbering 20/22 in the lower right corner of the reverse. quadruple perforation.
Fading vertical deflection through the center.
Scattered trace calluses.
Fractured upper right corner with its obvious freshness. Others slightly rounded.
Album-like presentation. Rustling paper with beautifully preserved original printing gloss.
