1000 Piatres (1948)
The attractive stories about this noteThe 1000 Piastres notes, valued 17000 francs, were printed in 1951. When carrying money to Indochina to issue,
the ship was attacked by pirates at Marseille Sea and all the money was lost. French Government had to announce stopping the issue of 1000 Piastres notes on over Indochina, anyone who had that note would be arrested and that note would be taken back. After 40 years, in 1991, French Government announced that they have taken back all notes, and it’s really a highly endeavor of them. Now, there are just a few specimens are known all over the world.
Another story, when carrying from Marseille to Vietnam, a large number of this note was stolen. French Government had to stop issuing it. Anyway, this is the extremely note with history meaning, with valued
meaning, and it deserves having a solemn place in your collection. Specimen par perforation SPECIMEN centrale et numeros O.000/000.
