Fellow collectors,

My proclivity for collecting banknotes lies atthe intersection of my professional life as abanker and my deep interest in History. Myfocus on the Arab World originates from mybeing a Lebanese who has a deep affectionfor the Arab World and its people.

I started more than 30 years ago when itseemed to me that this was a domain notshared by many. Since then the world ofbanknote collecting has grown and interestin this hobby expanded beyond anythingthat we could have foreseen during thoseearly days. I will continue as a banknotecollector. Unfortunately, covering such awide area as the Arab World at the depththat I would like is untenable, thus the needarose to focus on parts of it where I canachieve my objectives of completeness andquality.

The banknote is a link to our past and thehobby of collecting banknotes makes of thenote an artistic and historical document, stripping it of its material significance. After all, not toomany issuers would pay you the face value of a defunct note.

The historical value takes on added fascination in the Arab World, given its turbulent and tragichistory. Borders change, countries come and go, regimes fall, and the symbols and the languagechange with them. Looking in series at banknotes issues, gives the viewer a feeling of the changesthat have taken place over the past century. You cannot get that feeling any other way.

Collectors who will participate in the sale are mostly friends and I do hope that some of theextraordinarily rare notes will end up at homes that I will be visiting. One does not like to see hischildren go far afield, and that will be at least some solace.

This is a feeling that my fellow collectors will fully understand for as they all know there is a storyand a friend behind each note, stories and friends that are spread all across our Arab world.

Good Luck.

I have known George for over two decades and he has become both a very enthusiastic collectorand a friend; a perfect synergy. At least that was the case until he reminded me that I was theperson who sold him, many years ago, the Qatar and Dubai set seen in this auction, and that theprice I charged him was in hindsight a little low (although he probably complained at the time!).I have wanted to handle the collection for years and I am delighted that George has finallyconsented to selling part of it here. He will continue to collect North Africa, Lebanon and Syria,proving that the collecting gene will not be thwarted completely! In this sale you will see beautifulsections of Iraq, Jordan, the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and many others, all acquired withan eye to quality. The banknotes of the Middle East have undergone a renaissance over the lastfew years with established Western interest joined by very knowledgeable local collectors who havedeservedly transformed the market. This is Spink’s first dedicated auction for banknotes of theMiddle East and I know George would concur with me in wishing everyone the very best of luck.

Thank you, Barnaby.

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 anysymbol 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 element will be included withinthe Buyer’s Premium.

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 and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown asinclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject toVAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lotsbear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation intothe 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.
