    Descripción:
    Straits Settlements � Government of the Settlements $1 January 1, 1935 P-16. PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent. Since this type circulated widely in the tropical climate of the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia, high-grade notes are rare. This is a small-format type printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. of New Malden, Surrey, England. There is a male portrait on the front. The back shows a profile cameo head at left and the tiger watermark at the right. At the center is a striking tiger vignette, showing the great feline in a clearing, with wind ruffling the grass in the background. Noted with "Minor Stains," but this is just a patch of foxing on the right top back edge. From the face, this has a Gem appearance and shows vibrant color. This would make an excellent pairing with the previous Sarawak 1935 dollar bill. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20016, realized $302.4.

    Sarawak � Government of Sarawak $1 January 1, 1935 P-20. PCGS Very Fine 35. Dollar-denominated notes circled the globe in the Newman Collection, and this vibrant multi-hued note was printed for Sarawak by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Stately palm trees are at the left and Sir Charles Vyner Brook is at the right. The 1996 Historical Dictionary of the British Empire offers a biography of Brooke which says that he became the third raja of Sarawak in 1917, was knighted in 1927, and led the country until it was occupied by the Japanese in 1941. In 1946, after the end of World War II, Brooke turned over the country to Britain. The green back has the Arms at the center. The handling is modest on this popular type. Beautifully printed and with the appearance of a higher grade, PPQ example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20015, realized $360.

    Descripción:
    Netherlands � Siege of Leiden 5 Stuiver 1574 P-S101b. PCGS New 62. One of most fascinating historical currencies in the Newman Collection. It may be classified as the earliest European paper money, but it is also properly classified with siege coins. Issued during the early part of the Eighty Years War (1568-1748) when the Spanish were holding siege around Leiden's dikes. Generally, siege coins were struck upon citizens' silver plate and copper, church vessels, or anything that could be put to emergency use for money. In this intriguing case, shredded prayer books and bibles were made into a macerated pulp and formed into pressed cardboard-like sheets. The sheets were than impressed with dies and either struck in collars or trimmed into perfectly round "coins." The face (obverse) has arms and rampant lion at center surrounded with motto PUGNO PRO PATRIA (I fight for my country) and date 1574. The reverse with fancy bordering and inscription LVG/DVNVM/BATAVO/RVM (Leiden in Batavia). This is a top-grade example. Perfectly round and struck-up well on both sides, particularly the back (reverse). There is a short fissure observed on the back as made, but the face looks perfect. Superior to the Neil Shafer "Money of the People" collection example which had some adhered wax from an old seal and realized $3,450 in June 2014. Rarely offered, especially in American sales. This is an important artifact reflecting the tumultuous wars crossing Europe centuries ago and the unusual emergencies created. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20014, realized $2880.

    Mongolia � State Treasury Note 1 Dollar 1924 P-2r. Remainder. PCGS Choice New 63PPQ. This is surely one of the most exotic-looking dollar bills in the Newman Collection. These are scarce and popular. A boldly colored note that can be considered the second series of notes from the nation newly independent from Qing Dynasty China. This supposedly Russian-printed note was prepared, but never issued. The array of colors on both sides is extraordinary, and the interwoven and floral patterns are most pleasing. The denomination is in English and Mongolian. Light handling only is seen. Recent realizations are always in excess of four figures. Bright, bold, and colorful, this is justifiably a very desirable issue for all world note collectors. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20013, realized $2520.

    Descripción:
    Liberia � Treasurer of the Republic of Liberia 3 Dollars August 24, 1863. Pick 8. PCGS Very Fine 30. A beautiful example of this three dollar bill type, and not often found in this condition. Like others in the series, the common vignette at the center shows a ship arriving on the shores of Africa with a dove of peace holding the scroll representing freedom. The overall size of the note is larger than the dollar notes. Broadly margined, bright, and without the blemishes which often plague these African notes due to humidity. A vibrant, premium-grade note with a pedigree to match. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20012, realized $1020.

    Descripción:
    Liberia � Treasurer of the Republic of Liberia 1 Dollar December 28, 1863 P-7c. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. A historic paper money issue that can also appropriately be collected alongside American notes. These notes actually circulated in Liberia. Earlier notes, printed by colonization societies from the United States, appear not to have circulated in Liberia. Reverend Robert Finley of New Jersey proposed the idea of the American Society for Colonizing the Free People of Color in the United States in 1816. The American Colonization Society (1816-1865) established the colony of Liberia in 1817 with the purpose of settling free blacks and manumitted slaves in Africa. According to pbs.org, "The motives of the ACS members varied considerably. Some were genuine allies of free blacks, and were concerned for their welfare. Some hoped that colonization would eradicate slavery. Others wanted to maintain the institution of slavery but rid the country of free blacks, who they believed posed a serious threat as potential fomenters of slave rebellion." Slave owners Henry Clay, Francis Scott Key, and Bushrod Washington were among the officers of the Society. The first of approximately 15,000 settlers from the United States arrived in 1822, and in 1847, the "Americo-Librerians" established an independent republic. Four denominations from this series were made. Printed uniface on white paper, without imprint. The symbolism used on the series� notes is appropriate. The common vignette at the center shows a ship arriving on the shores of Africa with a dove of peace holding the scroll representing freedom. Noted with "Small Rust Stains," this example is broadly margined on all sides and rarely seen as such. This represents the historic issue perfectly. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
