Paper Money: New Acquisitions

@Notaphylic_C

Here's one of my 5 Jiao for comparison - the colour is a little more muted than your example. (The Obverse is the UNC - the reverse shown is a used example)

-Great side-by-side comparison!

 

I received this Brazilian note in a swap with a Canadian swap partner

1986-1988 Brazil 50 Cruzados
Obverse
Portrait of Oswaldo Gonçalves Cruz (1872-1917), with a microscope on the left.

Reverse

Nicely done!

 

There was another Brazilian sent as well (plus a load of Aussie not scanned yet).

Currency Cruzado novo (1989-1990)

Obverse
Portrait of Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987), with the houses and mountains of Itabira, MG appearing in the background and below an excerpt from the author's manuscript, entitled "Prece de um mineiro no Rio" (Prayer of a Mineiro in Rio).
Reverse
A picture depicts the poet at his desk, in the office of writing. To the right of the engraving, the verses of the poem Canção Amiga are reproduced.

Translation:
I prepare a song
in which my mother recognizes herself,
all mothers recognize each other,
and speak like two eyes.

Way down a street
that happens in many countries.
If they don't see me, I see
and greet old friends.

I distribute a secret
like someone who loves or smiles.
In the most natural way
two cuddles are looking for each other.

My life, our lives
form a single diamond.
I learned new words
and made others more beautiful.

I prepare a song
that makes men wake up
and put the kids to sleep.

 

Nice translation! Thanks for sharing.

I got one "New Cruzado" over stamped on 1000 Cruzados: from around the same era:

 

The street scene from 1905 is very nice.

From Brazil I also have a 2003 - 1 Real.
Flag watermark.
(The earlier version 1994-1996 has the symbolic effigy as watermark)

What is the comment written on the note? I cant decipher it
I have escaped the pit?


Nice Reverse IMO
Print of a hummingbird (Amazilia lactea) feeding the young in the nest.

The obverse is the Symbolic effigy of the Republic, interpreted in the form of sculpture. The effigy is a representation of a young woman wearing a crown of bay leaves in Roman style and a phrygian cap. It is present in allegoric paintings and sculptures displayed in government buildings throughout Brazil, and engraved on Brazilian real coins and banknotes. It was first used as a pro-Republican icon in the 19th century, inspired by France's Marianne. After the proclamation of the Republic in 1889, it became an important symbol of the newly formed Republic.

 

According to Numista:
"I will live with Cattete,
Largo do Machado, Praia de
Botafogo and Flamengo, I don't speak
of the people who live there, but
the streets, houses, fountains and shops.
There my feet walk by themselves. There are petrified things and immortal people there"

It's a nice design.
I have P-253c, a 5 Real with a 2010 date but issued in 2015 & low serial #201:

 

@Notaphylic_C

Thats a great looking note with stunning colour and low serial number.
Interesting to see they have placed the bird (The Great Egret) back on the horizontal


The 'note' I was querying was the hand written one on the reverse of the 1 Real.

Here also I have the 200 Cruzeiros from 1990

Reverse
Detail of the painting Pátria, by the painter Pedro Bruno (1888-1949), where the Brazilian flag appears embroidered within a family.

 

Gee, I hate to mess up an interesting thread with this modern US note, but a Star note is a Star note. Received in change yesterday.

 

I recently purchased this Trinidad and Tobago $1 Note locally - 2006 Series (with purple bars version) to add to my 5 and 10 dollar notes.

The Scarlet Ibis appeals to me.
Beautiful UNC Condition

Obverse
Coat of arms & Scarlet Ibis
Reverse
Eric Williams Finance Building in Port of Spain where Central bank of T&T is located; Point Lisas Industrial Estate

Added a 2010 India 5 Rupee to my collection.
I already have a few consecutive 10s

 

-Really nice $1.00 from Trinidad. I got one from the late 90's which looks very similar (just different signature). I also picked up their 2014 commemorative $50 as I like the design of the polymer (totally different colour scheme for their $50 too):

Also like the notes from India (especially after they stopped issuing them with staple holes):
Just got a solid radar back from my bulk PMG submission but it only received an UNC 64 EPQ (at least original & not pressed!) Design isn't well centred so I'm surprised it didn't get a 63. I will give the results of my submission on my NC site with a new page "PMG Results"

 

The Trinidad $50 commemorative is a beauty.

After buying the $1 Trinidad another NZ Wellington dealer came up with some used ones in a local auction. They are from the 1985 series (old style serial numbers - signed WG Demas). I haven't got a $20, so if the price is right I may consider getting them to isolate that one. ebay prices on the $20 seem to be at a minimum of USD10 + shipping.

Some interesting info

Not my pictures


Signature William G Demas

 

-Just about 4-5 years ago, when I first started looking out for World notes there was no difference (or very little difference) between the prices of the first 3 signatures. The tough ones seemed to be from 1977 (P-30-P35) or the QEII notes but even the P-26c $1.00 was selling for about $50 (BIN) ungraded (a & b a little more). I wanted one of those but felt like it was too risky to drop $50 & discover it was pressed. Its shocking to see how fast the prices have risen.

P-36d (last & easiest signature) from 1986 Issue:

 

...................and, It starts with a "0"! I don't think I've ever gotten a star note that starts with a 0.

 

Adding my 3 x 100's = nearly conseq

 

Nice 100 rupee notes @BasSWarwick !

Here's my recent $1.00 P-30b with the uncommon "Bobb" signature (which appeared in 1984). The note was redesigned in 1986 so that P-30a (Bruce signature) is nearly 9X more common than the Bobb note.


The 2nd note I picked up came from Brazil. I just liked the design of this reverse side of this one featuring Candido Portinari painting one of his realistic masterpieces :

 

Very nice Brazilian note - I have just started adding Brazil to my Latin American collection, this time a bit of the 'arts' on the back
