French Somaliland Banque de l'Indochine 100 Francs 1.5.1909 Pick 3s Specimen PMG About Uncirculated 53. Representing the extremely rare first date of issue for the type, this Specimen has a perforated cancellation, printer notation, and solid zero serial numbers. While the 1920 date can be found, this 1909 dated example is amazingly rare. At the time of cataloging, there are no auction results for a Specimen with this date. Additionally, this is the lone example in the PMG Population Report. An important opportuning to acquire a top tier rarity for Africa and the entire French Colonial realm. A fresh, original example and simply stunning as such. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Banque de l'Indochine
