French Indochina Banque de l'Indo-Chine, Haiphong 100 Piastres 1.9.1925 Pick 20 PMG Very Fine 30. A rarely seen Haiphong type, and the final date of issue for this city. All of the large format 100 Piastres issued before 1936 have become challenging to find, and this example is no exception. A repaired center hole and toned paper are noted in addition to typical rusty holes. Otherwise, the ink is fresh and eye appeal is quite good considering the size of this note and climate in which it circulated. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Banque de l'Indochine
