1890 MEXICAN GOVT SPECIMEN BOND! It is also the RAREST, being the only one of its type extant after over 120 years! Exquisitely engraved by the American Bank Note Co. The bond measures over 16.5″ x 26″ (this includes the coupon sheet on the right). If is fully printed on both sides. The reverse is all pink with darker red text bylaws in Spanish, German and French! Occupying the central portion. This bond is a SPECIMEN or ARCHIVAL PROOF that was never circulated. It remains as clean, fresh and crisp as when printed in 1890. However, there are 3 light storage folds, one with a tiny split which won’t show when the bond is matted and framed. PREMIUM QUALITY considering age and immense rarity no issued examples of the type and denomination are known! Payable in Francs (500 Francs), Imperial German Marks (408 Reichmarks) or Pounds Sterling (20 Pounds), the bond is therefore printed in THREE languages. Red embossed Serial number 0000 appears twice and on every coupon. A truly amazing piece of Mexican financial history. Belongs in a bank or museum, beautifully framed!!
