Scottishmoney Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Two brand new Mexican commemorative banknotes this time... Porfirio Diaz ruled Mexico as it's dictator for nearly 44 years, from 1877-1911. Despite having given lip service to democracy, in practice he did not believe in it. In the 1910 election in Mexico it is conjectured that in reality he lost the election, but vote rigging and a refusal to acknowledge reality only prompted him to stay in office, in opposition to Franscisco Madero. Shortly after the election a revolt broke out, which initiated the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910-1920 and saw the rise and fall of several characters in Mexican history, including Diaz, Madero etc. In the end forces led by Venustiano Carranza prevailed and the Mexican constitution of 1917 insured more liberal rule, and some degree of political stability. This 100 Pesos note was issued recently to commemorate the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and features a locomotive with the rebels and a group of campesinos, or farm workers on the reverse of the note. It is printed on polymer and features several security devices and colours that make for a very lovely note. The year 2010 is also the bicentennial of the declaration of Mexican independence from Spain in 1810, and fittingly is commemorated on the brand new 200 Pesos note that features a vignette of Fra. Miguel Hidalgo, a Roman Catholic priest that lead peasants under the banner of Nuestra Señora de la Guadalupe banner in the original revolt against Spanish rule beginning in 1810. The reverse of the note features a vignette very familiar to collectors of Mexican gold and silver coinage, the "El Ángel de la Independencia" or Angel of Independence in Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City.

Scottishmoney Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I like that Bahrain note also, very colourful. Notice the sail shaped hotel that I believe has gotten some architectural awards also. I hope I will be able to post a rare West African States - Benin note soon if I can buy it.

see323 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Australia and Clydesdale Bank First Prefixes Solid 555555 $50 Macfarlane / Henry AA 06 First Prefix Solid Number 555 555 (R520dF) Robert the Bruce (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329) Robert the Bruce was King of the Scots (1274-1329) and led Scotland in the Wars of Scottish Independence, which culminated in The Treaty of Edinburgh, 1328. This recognised Scotland as an independent kingdom, and Bruce as its king. According to legend, while he was on the run during the winter of 1305-06, Bruce hid himself in a cave on Rathlin Island off the north coast of Ireland, where he observed a spider spinning a web. Each time the spider failed, it started over again until it succeeded. Inspired by this, Bruce returned to inflict a series of defeats on the occupying English force, thus winning him more supporters and eventual victory. Elsie Maud Inglis (16 August 1864 – 26 November 1917) Having trained as a doctor in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Inglis became concerned at the level of care for women following her work in maternity hospitals. In 1894, with Jessie MacGregor, Inglis opened a maternity hospital in Edinburgh for poor women, staffed entirely by women. She was to later play an important role in founding the Scottish Federation of Women’s Suffrage Societies. During the First World War Inglis set up the Scottish Women’s Hospitals which eventually sent over 1000 women doctors, nurses, orderlies and drivers to war zones across Europe. In April 1915 Inglis took a women’s medical unit to Serbia. During an Austrian offensive in the summer of 1915, Inglis was captured but eventually, with the help of the American diplomats, British authorities were able to negotiate the release of Inglis and her medical staff.

Scottishmoney Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Australia and Clydesdale Bank First Prefixes Solid 555555 Nice notes and nice numbers, canna get over how the Clydesdale is doing lookalike notes from the Bank of Scotland series of new notes. At least they have different portraits on each denomination as opposed to having Sir Wally Scott on each note like BoS. Here is my latest addition, very old for the locale, and very dear in price accordingly: I have been chasing one of these for awhile, never thought I would find one with this early of a date so easily. Usually I can find 1920's and 1930's dates fairly commonly, but even they are pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Here's some nice, new COrdobas frm Nicaragua. I really like these. Thee windows have impressions on them, as well as some printing, and some even have color changing ink over the windows - a very cool feature I've never seen before. One curious thing with this issue is that the 100 Cordoba is paper, while the 10,20 and 200 denominations are Polymer notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
