25 2500 Reis 1.3.1909
Overprint "Pagavel/na Filia de Loanda" at right center; early branch issue. Loanda indicates this is an Angola issue; this type is the apparent precursor to the similar looking issue which has Loanda in red at upper center. Couple small areas of restoration at top and bottom center; few stains, particularly on back. Questions remain unanswered, such as why this was apparently the only denomination in its series with this overprint. Rare and mysterious.

PCGS terms the 1 Somalo and 20 Somali "Gem New 66 PPQ"; the 10 Somali, "Gem New 65 PPQ"; and the 5 and 100 Somali "Very Ch. New 64". Unbelievable collector opportunity.

Previous black overprint "EMISSION 1944" at upper center and later red oval overprint NOUVELLES HEBRIDES FRANCE LIBRE at left. According to World War II Remembered, a paltry 10,000 were issued. Several years ago, at CPMX 2010, the next denomination of this series, 500 Francs in PCGS VF 20, hammered for $16,000. I have never seen this 100 Francs type prior and it is likely of comparable rarity. One example was in the Thomas Collection decades ago. Multiple pinholes; small center hole; clip mark upper right on back comes through on face; small spots; writing lower right. Still, this piece has pleasing color and the overall body is quite decent. Sensational World War II era rarity we are not likely to offer again.
