Description: A nice about uncirculated or much better Banknote from Ethiopia. This is the no date 1966, one hundred dollars currency note issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia. The front of the banknote is purple on green and multicolored underprint and shows the bust of Emperor Haile Selassie to the right. There is a building in the left bottom corner of the front, which represents the Rock Church of Bet Giorgis in Lalibela. The back, which is purple 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. This particular note has the serial number C448636, which is displayed in black twice on the front. Please carefully review the scan as it is part and parcel of our description.
Date: 1966.
Printer: Thomas De La Rue & Company Ltd.
Size: The banknote measures ~5 3/4" by ~3".
Pick Number: P 29a and is listed in the Banknote Book as B305a.
Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice about uncirculated or much better with all the details being very well preserved. The note retains all its original stiffness, crispiness, and sheen. The note has no folds and no creases. The note is clean with no major objectionable stains. It does have a spot on the front near the bottom left corner and some black stain, which appears to be a finger print at the bottom right corner. The note has no graffiti, no pinholes, no tears, and no splits. We are grading the note as AU instead of UNC because of the two small stained spots mentioned earlier and the existence of a small bump at the bottom left corner as well as light roughness along the top edge near the right corner. We believe these issues are due to handling instead of being due to circulation. The note does not appear to have circulated with its corners being intact with no rounding, its cleanliness, and absence of folds or creases. A very nice note in great condition to add to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
