Description

SEYCHELLES. British Administration. 100 Rupees, 1968. P-18a. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
We've all heard of the storied Seychelles series containing the Scum, Poop, and Sex notes, but we have always wondered what word could be found on the 100 Rupees, if any at all. Thankfully, we have discovered the word LOVE in the note just directly left of Queen Elizabeth II made with the branches. This leaves only the 5 Rupees as a note with an undiscovered message. We are pleased to offer this wonderful example, appearing with what we believe is the lowest serial number available for the ultra rare first year, A/1 000021. Given the new word discovery, and the powerful red and pink Valentines-esque color to match it, we believe a premium on Love notes will exist going forward. PMG Comments "Minor Rust."

Estimate: $5000.00- $7000.00
