Banco de Portugal, a sheet of proofs for 5 Escudos (10), issue of 1920, no signatures or serial numbers, each with a specimen perforation, with Banco de Portugal handstamp and date 19/10/1915, and the annotation “approved Lisbon, 19th October 1915” with the signature of the administrator in charge at the time, folded along the gaps between notes, but no folds over the design, but also with two small splits along central fold, thus each note generally good extremely fine or better, a unique sheet and interesting because the note was actually not issued for another five years! (10 notes)
Pick 120 for type £1,600-£2,000
