Grade: VF 20 Apparent

MUESTRA and three line text overprint on face; without serial number. Three workers on horseback/overprint CERTIFICADO DE PLATA on back. Issued examples for this type come with serial number and do not have MUESTRA on face. Small graffiti at upper margin on face; small tape on face and back; residue at left and right margins on back, likely from book removal. Rare in any form; without serial numbers and with MUESTRA, possibly unique. PCGS terms this "VF 20 Apparent mounting damage on back; tape repaired edge split at top center". A wonderful item and an "old friend" from our Memphis 2004 sale.
