Banque de Syrie et du Liban 10 Livres 1-9-1939 P-17 type C1. One of the scarcest world notes on offer in this currency section with reportedly only 7 known. Good colour but some flts - stains in white area, small edge tear & the LL & UR cnrs have white added. Fine. A PMG graded F 15 note of this type (lot 11328) sold at Stacks 2011 Baltimore auction for US$16,520 = A$17,500+. Irrespective of the faults this note should not be neglected by the serious collector.
