Rhodesia and Nyasaland Bank of Rhodesia and Nyasaland 10 Pounds ND (1956-61) Pick 23s Specimen PMG Extremely Fine 40. A wonderful example of colonial paper money. Issued for the then Rhodesia and Nyasaland, this 10 Pounds was the highest denomination from the series. The now outdated territory was spilt into three independent countries of Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Exquisite designs and shades of colors were used, Queen Elizabeth II can be seen to the right, and appears to almost be staring into the same distance as the lion in left corner. The back boasts a herd of elephants, which is a design that was repurposed for a later design from Malawi. Cecil John Rhodes as watermark. Cancelled and perforated "Specimen" at center, printers annotations, and previously mounted.
