South Africa African Banking Corporation Limited, Durban 100 Pounds ND (ca. 1890s) Pick UNL Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Stunning designs and a large format size lend to a striking appearance. This issuer is seldom seen in any format across all denominations, but this highest denomination is a true prize. All design elements are on full display on this Specimen created for the Durban branch of the African Banking Corporation. While ascertaining the exact number of these Specimens extant today would be speculation, it is safe to say that this type is very rare, and this is an important opportunity to acquire a special 19th-century design for Africa. A typical perforation is mentioned for accuracy. Stunning and desirable, and of course very scarce.
