Abdülaziz 1. Emission Ottoman Bank 15 December 1279 200 Kurush

ONE OF THE RAREST (RRRRR) NOTES OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE...

FOLLOWING SULTAN ABDULAZİZ'S APPROVAL OF THE OTTOMAN BANK'S PRIVILAGE TO PRINT PAPERMONEY ON FEBRUARY 4, 1863, AMONG THE 200 KURUSH BANKNOTES, WHICH WERE THE FIRST BANKNOTES PRINTED BY THE OTTOMAN BANK AND PUT INTO CIRCULATION IN 6 SERIES, SIGNED BY MISSIR AND ALLEON AND STAMPED BY ARISTIDI, IS THE RAREST...

THE 6TH SERIES OF 200 KURUSH, WHICH IS THE LAST ISSUE, WITH SERIAL NUMBERS 35,001-36,000, OF WHICH ONLY 1000 WERE PRINTED, APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN USED IN THE OTOMAN BANK'S NUMBERİNG BOOK, AND FURTHERMORE THE MISSIR SIGNATURE IS NOT MENTIONED AT ALL...
