Foreword


Tomasina, Mike and I are pleased to present the first catalogue in a new decade of sales for DNW. Tis new decade sees the introduction of an updated sale program for DNW. We will now be holding three auctions each year; in February, June and October. Tis will allow us to bring you even more top quality notes from every corner of the globe, on a more regular basis than before. It is important to note that the Irish section in this auction is smaller than usual. Tis is due to a special sale being held on the 12th of March that is dedicated entirely to Irish Banknotes


Tis auction contains elements of two excellent named collections. Firstly we have the long awaited second part of the Sir David Kirch Collection of Jersey. Some of the early private issues are incredibly rare, if not unique, and the quality of his occupation and State issues are unsurpassed. Tis is not the end however, as a third part will be sold later in the year.


Secondly, we have the first of three parts of the Yves Cataroche Collection of Guernsey. Tis remarkable group of notes represents a lifetime of collecting, and is an altogether remarkable achievement. In addition to several superb grade early States issues, Yves collected the occu- pation issues by prefix! His later States issues are also remarkable because they include virtu- ally every issue with the serial number 000004, which to our knowledge, is the lowest number publicly available.


In terms of notes from the rest of the world, there are several highlights. For Bank of England, there is a spectacular Marshall £5 specimen. Tis 1854 specimen represents the first time this updated design was used by the Bank of England, and it wasn’t changed for over 100 years.


For German East Africa, now a mainstay of DNW sales, we have the finest quality 500 Rupien we have ever seen. In superb original good extremely fine to about uncirculated condition, this really stands out from the other examples that have come to light recently. From Iraq, probably the best market in the world right now, there is an exceptional Faisal II 1/4 dinar from the India printing. Special mention must go to the Portugal note pictured below. Tis proof for 5 Mil Reis was never issued in this form, as it was changed to Escudos before the final printing. We believe this to be one of only four surviving examples, bearing witness to a country changing the very name of its currency in the aſtermath of revolution.


We do hope you can join us for the sale, either in person or online, and however you partici- pate, we wish you the best of luck with your bids.


Andrew, Tomasina and Mike
