5 April 11 and 12, LONDON Foreword I often talk about how in days gone by, I was grudgingly allowed to enter a few banknote lots at the end of coin sales, very much under sufferance. As the years roll on, I would like to think that Spink and the banknote market in general continue to move to considerably higher plains. The market continues to grow and evolve and now banknotes are very much de rigeur. I think we can all be very proud of the progress made. With progress in mind, this April we hold our annual spring auction series with a varied and interesting selection of world paper. For the first time, we are splitting our main auction into two parts. Firstly we have this auction, World Banknotes, which is our usual floor sale featuring many very special and often unique items from all over the globe. Secondly, we are holding our inaugural internet-only timed auction, World Banknotes Online. This is a new and exciting venture for us, and we are sure that the catalogue, consisting of almost 1000 great value lots, will be a great success. The highlight of this auction is without doubt a serial number A/ Straits Settlements $10 presented to the Governor of the territory by the Chairman of the printers, Bradbury Wilkinson. This is a unique find, and as it becomes increasingly rare to find any undiscovered low number notes, an exceptional one. Another highlight is a Southern Rhodesia 10 of 1954 in wonderfully original condition. Even most advanced Commonwealth collectors are missing this note in any form, so to find the virtually unheard of 1954 date in such a fine state of preservation is sure to attract huge interest. We have some excellent Middle East, including a vast selection of Persia and Iran (some additional notes from the Bruce Smart collection are featured in red), a rare selection of Dutch and Dutch Colonial, good Commonwealth and a substantial covering of general World currency. We finish with a fine selection of British material including a variety of rarely seen error notes. We hope to see all our friends at the World Paper Money Show in Valkenburg and we welcome all those who plan to attend the auction in London. Please enjoy the catalogue and best of luck with your bids. Barnaby, Andrew, Thomasina and Elaine 407 3
