1945 No Date Ethiopia 10 Dollars Banknote Emperor Haile Selassie P #14b Nice VF
Description: A nice very fine Banknote from Ethiopia. This is the no date 1945 ten dollars currency note issued by the State Bank of Ethiopia. The front of the banknote has black design on orange underprint and depicts the image of emperor Haile Selassie at left and the image of St. George Square with the statue of Menelik II on horseback in the center. The back, which is red in color, depicts the image of the Ethiopian Arms which is a crowned lion with a flagged cross in its paw. The banknote does not display the date anywhere. It displays the denomination on both the front and back. It has one signature on the front and is signed Bennett. This particular note has the serial number AG971247 noted in red twice on the front. The note has no watermark or a security thread that we could find. A nice very fine note that would make a nice addition to your collection. Please carefully review the scan as it is part and parcel of our description.
Date: 1945.
Printer: Security Banknote Company.
Size: The banknote measures ~6 1/8" by ~3 1/4".
Pick Number: P 14b and is listed in the Banknote Book as B203b.
Condition: I would grade the banknote as a nice very fine. The note is soiled with no objectionable large stains (there is a large light brown stain to the right on the front of the note, which is not objectionable in our opinion). The note has vertical folds and a light horizontal fold. The note also has some light wrinkling. The edges are soiled and show roughness as well as some nicks at the ends of the folds. The note has no graffiti, no pinholes, no tears, and no splits. Its corners are intact but show rounding and some bumps. Be that as it may, this is a nice note worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
