Description

Seychelles Government of Seychelles 50 Rupees 1.1.1968 Pick 17a PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. A highly desirable example of what is commonly referred to as the "SEX" note. This 50 rupees features the early portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at right and the sailboat vignette at left. To the right of Annigoni's rendition of the Queen, it is the opinion of some, that the palm trees read the word "SEX" when turned 90 degrees. Delightfully blended inks and intersecting designs are seen throughout this popular issue. From The Drs. Joanne and Edward Dauer Collection of World Banknotes
