GUATEMALA. Banco Central de Guatemala. 5 Quetzales, 1926 (ND 1927-34). P-8cts. Color Trial Specimen. PMG Uncirculated 62.
A very scarce color trial specimen for this important issue from Guatemala. Produced by Thomas de la Rue. This is the first issue of the Banco Central de Guatemala and was printed for circulation in dark purple. This color trial instead features a more colorful scheme, with blue, yellow and orange as the dominant colors. As typically seen on TDLR color trials this example shows mounting remnants and stains, but neither are particularly distracting and the note faces up quite well. Outstanding opportunity for the Central American specialist. PMG comments "Previously Mounted, Stains."
