Lot: 189

Tibet, a group of c.110x 100 srang notes, undated, red, yellow, green and blue, 'with serial number prefixes consisitng in a letter and a superscribed figure 1', this lot contains a few pieces of the scarce 'A1' prefix which:

Nicholas Rhodes suggested in a letter to the cataloguer that most of the notes of the a'1 and all notes of the ya1-series were probably taken from the mint by officials who accompanied the 14th Dalai during his flight to India in March 1959. The black seal imprints may purposely have been applied inverted to distinguish the 100 Srang notes which were being sealed during and after the flight of the Dalai Lama from those which had been issued in Lhasa.
(Pick 11, YZM -), mixed condition, very good to almost uncirculated. (approximately 110 notes)
