Initial attempt at an issue by the First Philippine Republic. With serial number, without signature as all known examples come. Watermarked paper; imprint Z. Fajardo at bottom right outside of frame on back, the only time it appears in this location for notes of this Republic. WBG terms this "UNC 62 common pinhole right margin". Decades ago, the late Aldo P. Basso, reknowned Philippine author and researcher, offered these on the market. Since then, they have become extremely difficult.

A26a 1 Peso L. 30.11.1898-24.4.1899
Extremely rare issued note. What renders this piece likely unique is the Revolutionary government stamp over the embossed seal. Neil Shafer had never previously seen ANY Philippines type with such a stamp! Purple series A, brown serial number. Embossed seal at left. Hand signed by Pedro A. Paterno. The first Philippine Republic had barely issued a few pieces when it was overrun by American forces; at that point, the Philippines became a United States possession. From an extremely relevant and historic series. WBG terms this "Ch. VF 35 staining beneath revolutionary stamp". Less than twenty numbers away from the Pineda example without stamp which hammered for $11,000. A landmark opportunity for the most advanced collections.
