Archival photographic proofs of unissued 500 litu 1925, mounted on card-stock. Slightly different from the issued 500 litu (see Pick 21a) - different date (1925), diverse underprint and setting of signatures in front.
Very nice quality of photo proofs.
Size: 199 x 94 mm.
Face and back together, on one plate of card-stock.
In 2014, the english auction house SPINK sold photographic archives
of nowadays nonexistent printing works BRADBURY WILKINSON & CO.
These archives included photographic copies of projects of notes, which
were to be printed, but the project resulted in failure and, as a
result, these notes never went into circulation.
