Toutes les enchères / Cartes Postales & Philatélie / CEYLON. Government of Ceylon. 10,000 Rupees, 15.10.1947. P-39As. Specimen.
Extremely Rare 1947 10,000 Rupees Specimen Our second-ever offering CEYLON. Government of Ceylon. 10,000 Rupees, 15.10.1947. P-39As. Specimen. PMG About Uncirculated 55. In world paper money, there is a select number of so-called 'titans,' notes with denominations well above the normal values in circulation at the time. Most often, they were intended for interbank transfers only and were not typically used by the general public. Not surprisingly, surviving examples are extremely rare, regardless of the country or time period, and most are encountered only in specimen or trial form. This is also the case with the 10,000 Rupees of Ceylon offered in this lot. Like the rest of this series, the 10,000 Rupees was printed by India Security Press, without imprint. The front features a portrait of King George VI 'en face' at left. The back features a view of the shoreline of Kandy Lake at the center. Both sides feature text in English, Sinhala, and Tamil, reflecting the various languages in use in Ceylon. This type seems to have first been produced as a proof dated 1946, with different colors (illustrated in the Banknote Book), before the final iteration of the type seen here, dated 1947, was made. A hugely important offering for the Ceylon specialist to finally acquire this denomination in attractive grade. Estimate: $50,000 - $75,000. 極罕見 1947 年 10,000 盧比樣票 1947年錫蘭政府10,000盧比。樣票。 在世界紙幣領域中，存在少數被稱為"巨人"的鈔票，此等紙鈔多僅供銀行同業間轉帳之用，通常不在民間流通。因此，無論國家或年代，其存世皆鳳毛麟角，多以樣票或試印稿之姿流傳於世。此刻呈現的錫蘭10,000盧比大鈔，正是這般傳奇。與該系列其他面額一致，此10,000盧比由印度保安印鈔廠（India Security Press）印製，未署印刷廠名。正面左側印有喬治六世國王正臉肖像，背面中央則為康提湖畔景緻。正背兩面均印有英文、僧伽羅文及泰米爾文，反映出錫蘭當時通行的多種語言。在1947年最終定版之前，該版別最早曾於1946年印製過不同色調之試印樣票（詳見《世界紙幣目錄》插圖）。對錫蘭紙鈔專家而言，此乃終能以如此卓絕品相納入珍篋的契機。
