WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORD

Our World Banknote sales seem to get bigger and hopefully better with each passingyear. The April sale will certainly hit doorsteps with a satisfying thud (unless the cat issleeping on the mat!)

We have our usual offerings of archive type material, some beautiful essays and some jawdropping specimens. If you don’t like the East Africa 20 florins then you don’t likebanknotes (personal opinion). We have the Alan Cole Albania and Bulgaria collections,a superb collection of Palestine, many ex Dabbah collection, and some unique Israeliessays. There is also a group of low number Bank of England, always hard to find, andthe contents of a gorgeous engravers book of colour trials with hitherto unseen Palestineand a ‘Ploughman’ set. Spectacular! A varied Commonwealth offering includes twoSeychelles number 1 notes and an Australian £10 number 1, the aforementioned EastAfrica and a wide range of other issues. Strong Middle East with some splendid colourtrials, great Lebanon and Syria, Jordan and Iraq. We even have some items I have neverhandled before. I love the Lithuanian presentation album of 1922, and the early Cubaand Bank of Spain issues would be in my selection of the World’s most beautifulbanknotes in a heartbeat.

As always we hope that everyone finds something to appeal, good luck, and if nothingelse enjoy the catalogue (once you’ve lifted it off the cat!)

Barnaby and the team.

The following six lots form a complete set, demonstrating one of the checksperformed on proposed notes in the early 20th century. Each lot consists of a $1 notewhich has been cut into three pieces. The left half has been left untouched while the top right was heated with carbolic and the lower right washeated with creosole. A tracing paper rubbing was then performed on these lattertwo sections. This process was a method of testing colourfastness of various inks, andthe ability of the paper to hold its colour. Each of the six lots consists of all threesections of note, plus the two rubbings, all backed on gridded and watermarkedpaper. Interestingly while all these notes are $1, using the design of 1895, thecolours shown are those which were eventually used on the $1, $2, $5, $10, $50 and$100 notes of 1924.

WORLD BANKNOTES

This whole series was conceived due to public dissatisfaction with the ‘landscape’ issues of 1955. The project wasoverseen by the archaeologist Yigael Yadin with the idea being to place archaeological sites on the reverses andimages of the new State of Israel on the obverse. Arkin writes ‘Old versus new’ as the theme behind the proposednew issue of currency. The designers were Gaabriel Shamir, Maxim Shamir and Jacob Zim. The photographer RudiWissenstein was commissioned to take photographs of ‘modern Israelis’ to best epitomise the new State of Israel.These photographs would then form the template for the new designs. The proofs offered here bear the manuscriptsignature of one of the designers, Maxim Shamir and were purchased many decades ago from the family of MaximShamir.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable forVAT at this rate on importation into the EU.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer.

vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
