Description
Fr. 279. 1899 $5 Silver Certificate. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45 EPQ.
A lightly circulated example of most iconic design type ranked firmly among the minds of collectors and dealers alike that features eye appeal almost foreign to a circulated piece. Where much in the way of words may be granted to the solemn depiction of Running Antelope at center, the other qualities of this most impressive piece call out to the viewer in a way unmatched by the portrait. Deserving of such praise, the denim-blue overprint cuts more than an imposing figure, leaving a deep impression upon the mind of the viewer that cannot easily be forgotten in the absence of exceptional circumstances. Truly an impressive representative of uncommon quality. Should you seek an example of this most iconic design type let it be this one, assuming you can overcome the fierce bidding this note is sure to attract from its lofty place upon the auction block.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
