It was part of a series of banknotes featuring explorers. Most of them were quite nicely done as this one is. Report this Post to the Staff

hawk1969 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 3:59 pm This was a tough choice. I will go with this old South Africa 1 pounder. I think it looks very pleasing. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 09/17/2012 4:23 pm There are a few I could have choosen, but I've plumped for this one. Germany, 1910 100 Mark. It's value is probably only about 50p but I think the artwork is amazing.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 02:29 am I like a lot of banknotes from this era from central Europe - Germany, Hungary etc, the bombastic imagery is fantastic. Funny how the regions notes have went from some of the most interesting to the most boring (the Euro) in 100 years :) My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff

xavierz27 Valued Member United Kingdom 129 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 11:18 am Hi, a tough decision but I've always loved this note - and it's one that I bought in the first year or so of collecting. Only the front for now. Its a bit over-edited but comes from scans I made when sorting out the collection. Its a very colorful AU condition note, a 1 Yuan of the Farmers Bank of China of 1935. Superb classical scenes of rural life on the front (probably from an antique scroll painting). Alot I could have chosen but in the end it was a choice between this, the red 1948 100 Yuan of Thailand or the French style Laos 100 Kip of 1957. This won finally as my chief obsession is the Chinese notes. Report this Post to the Staff

xavierz27 Valued Member United Kingdom 129 Posts	Posted 10/05/2012 09:59 am Thanks James4444, glad you like it. Many amazing notes have been issued within China, and even many of the less attractive looking items have interesting historical associations. According to some estimates there are over 60,000 different notes (not even including the symbolic 'hell' notes). Anyway - here's the back of that 1935 Farmers Bank note: Edited by xavierz27 10/05/2012 10:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
