i can confirm that this note is not an operation bernhard forgery (wish it was as the forgeries tend to be worth more than the originals), i bought this not from a very reputable dealer in british bank notes who is a member of the BNTA and the IBNS, i think that they would take a very dim view if someone claimed they had sold a forgery not to mention legal action.

COOL notes everybody. I love seeing all of the different designs.

 

i am very aware of the scenario of operation bernhard and himmlers plan to de-stabilise the british economy by flooding the country with forged £5 an £10 notes during WW2 he assembled the best forgers in the prison camps and forced them tom make copy plates for printing the said notes. however being prisoners of the reich the forgers built in subtle defferences as ikandiggit has pointed out

 

anyway back on track france 1000 francs from 1942

The Portugal note honoring explorer Pedro Alvares Cabral

 

Beautiful notes, Dave + Moneyer!

Yugoslavia, unissued:

 

Wow! Both Daves... Nice notes! So ornate.

 

ok - 1 more for today and then I need to get dinner going. China 1000 Cash - 1921.

 

Dave L: I'd love to hear more about that Chinese note when you have time...

 

Holy Cow, Dave, that's just beautiful! Thanks for the enormous scans do show the details. It's almost enough to make me want to start up a new collection. When you finish with dinner, I (and others, I presume) would be interested in a bit of the back story behind this note. Is it rare, are there many Chinese notes this wonderful and in this kind of shape? What are the purple stamps? Etc.

Thanks
Dave

 

LOL! I've already started searching for it! Fantastic note!

Hope you don't mind, Dave....

Like wow, what a very nice looking banknote. where is that from?

 

Zep, look just above the image of the note, "Yugoslavia"

 

Thanks, I just saw that. What an impressive looking piece.

 

Ah, we should have known, I guess

Nice write-up of Dave's, as always. These notes need a magnifying glass in front of them to show off all the tiny artwork.

Here's another from Yugoslavia, Zeplyn:

DaveM these are really nice looking banknotes. How do you tell what year it is from?
Thank you for the link. I will have a look.

 

You can actually see the date on the face of that last one, "1931" printed right over the signatures. It's just a bit small in the scans. A fair number of the notes from eastern Europe are not all that expensive, by the way.
