.....and from the same consignment, a King Farouk note

Numista Rarity index: 92

1940 Egypt 5 Piastres S/3

I added one from my collection to compare (A/3 - still exceptionally crisp after 80 years).

Interesting how many of the notes shown are either

1. Hispanic inflation notes with some guy with sideburns or a Happy Jose style moustache
2. German inflation notes from 1923
3. Poorly printed WW2 siege, Japanese and change notes
4. Russian and sovietastan Eastern European worthless rublenik type stuff you can buy in packs of like 50 for $20 and its like one rublenik of Belarus or something.

I have none of these as I don't collect anything but beauty. I find this thread hilarious though

Here's a potentially valuable note I considered buying at auction, but the repair cost came out too prohibitive.
