Lot: 4147

Philippines: Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas, 20 piso, uniface obverse printer's model by Thomas De La Rue, 1949, black on yellow and multicolour,Andred Bonifacio at left and Emilio Jacinto at right, the design and colours virtually the same as the issued version except the text is in Tagalog.

The issued notes are in English and the designs are somewhat similar to United States banknotes, one can only wonder if there was a strong Amercan influcence on the design of this series.
(Pick 137pm for similar), PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated. A unique hand painted printer's model and likely one of the very first designs with the text in Taglog as opposed to Spanish and English. Important.
