French Indochina Banque de l'Indo-Chine, Saigon 20 Dollars = 20 Piastres 3.9.1898 Pick 30 PMG Very Fine 25. Once again representing the only example graded in the PMG Population Report, this stunning large-format type is seldom encountered in any grade. Featuring a true 19th century date, this example has English and French text on the front, as well as a legible manuscript signature. It is the opinion of the cataloger that these early times are vastly underrated compared to the regional counterparts of the same era. This Pick number has been auctioned only twice within the last decade, leaving this as an important opportunity to acquire a very scarce type. Pinholes and minor repairs are mentioned for accuracy. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Banque de l'Indochine
