WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORD

In the Spink Banknote Department we spend every year worrying about the next year,and I am sure we always will. Somehow we have put together another auction of morethan 2200 lots, which is particularly amazing considering we have just held our inauguralJuly sale, itself a 1700 lot extravaganza.

As you all know, we at Spink like to remain fairly modest, but I think we can be pleasedwith the contents of this autumn’s sale. The highlights are the Muszynski collections ofFrench West Indies and Reunion, and Lebanon and Syria. We have not had a collectionof French Colonies for many years and this is certainly one of the best ever assembled ofthese lovely notes. The Lebanon and Syria includes some completely unknown proofsfor notes which were never made, one of which can be seen on the front of thiscatalogue.

There are substantial archive groups including over 100 gorgeous essays for notes that‘never were’, chief among them a glorious Bahamas George V portrait £1 and a noteintended for the Arabian Gulf. Various other collections include an interesting group ofEast Africa, an extensive Danzig group, and some truly exceptional early Falkland Islandsand Turks and Caicos notes. To see one would be unusual, more than 20 is unheard of.To cap it off we have one of the best known Qatar & Dubai 50 riyals and a beautifulNew Zealand £50 of 1934, as well as a good ‘scattering’ of other BritishCommonwealth. To finish, we are offering a varied British selection including a May£10, a very rare Guernsey 10 shilling of 1930 and a lovely 19th Century Town andCounty pound. This section is in a separate catalogue as usual.

Apologies for another doormat buster, but we have greatly enjoyed putting the saletogether and we hope our friends in the market will find something of interest. Withthis number of lots, we’d be worried if you didn’t!

Good luck and we hope to see you at the sale,

Barnaby, Andrew, Monica and Thomasina.

WORLD BANKNOTES

Maurice Muszynski (1926-2010) was one of the mostprominent French paper money collectors and experts in thefield. In the early 60’s, in the passionate way characteristic ofhim, he began building a vast world collection and a largenetwork of relationships with other important collectors, suchas Georges Thomas and Albert Pick.

Maurice was an active promoter of paper money studies. Hismajor books on Banque de France notes and Frenchrevolutionary assignats were long reference works in thisdomain.

He was always pleased to give advice in setting up exhibitions,mostly in France. He had a particular admiration for the Notesdesigned and produced by the Banque de France, for Franceitself as well as foreign countries, and of course for the Frenchformer colonies.

Since the 80’s his daughter Claude ( 2007) and son Michelwere closely involved with his work, both became enthusiasticcollectors and were also involved in organising banknoteconventions and exhibitions.

In 1975 Maurice founded the French Federation ofNumismatic Associations, and in 1979 the AssociationFrançaise pour l’Étude du Papier-Monnaie, together with hisdear friend and fellow author Maurice Kolsky.

In the early 70’s he was vice president of IBNS andcontributed a number articles for the IBNS Journal.

Several collectors in France were encouraged to startcollecting paper-money following their encounter withMaurice and his wife Janine.

Maurice Muszynski (1926-2010) était l'un des principauxcollectionneurs et experts français du papier-monnaie. Dès ledébut des années 60 il avait commencé à bâtir une collectionde billets du monde entier, ainsi qu'un réseau de relations avecles autres collectionneurs de premier plan, comme GeorgesThomas et Albert Pick.

Maurice était un fervent avocat des études sur le papiermonnaie. Ses catalogues importants sur les billets de laBanque de France et les Assignats de la Révolution françaiserestèrent longtemps les ouvrages de référence.

Il avait toujours plaisir à donner des conférences ou àprésenter des expositions, essentiellement en France. Ilpouvait y exprimer son admiration pour les billets produits parla Banque de France, pour la France bien sûr, mais aussi pourles pays étrangers aux premiers rangs desquels les anciennescolonies françaises.

Dès les années 80, sa fille Claude ( 2007) et son fils Michels’associèrent à ses activités et poursuivirent sa collection,organisant également des conférences et expositions.

Maurice était un des fondateurs en 1975 la FédérationFrançaise des Associations Numismatiques, et en 1979 del’Association Française pour l’Etude du Papier-monnaie, avecson très cher ami et co-auteur Maurice Kolsky.

Au début des années 70, il fut vice président de l’IBNS, etrédigea de nombreux articles pour sa revue.

De nombreux collectionneurs en France ont découvert lepapier monnaie à la suite de leur rencontre avec Maurice etson épouse Janine.

Spink is delighted to have been chosen to auction this wonderful collection onbehalf of the Muszynski family and we hope our catalogue will assist in leaving

a lasting legacy of such an important collector and expert.

WORLD BANKNOTES

Maurice Muszynski in Paris in the early 60’s presenting his part of a numismatic exhibition.

Maurice Muszynski (1926-2010) was one of the mostprominent French paper money collectors and experts in thefield. In the early 60’s, in the passionate way characteristic ofhim, he began building a vast world collection and a largenetwork of relationships with other important collectors, suchas Georges Thomas and Albert Pick.

Maurice was an active promoter of paper money studies. Hismajor books on Banque de France notes and Frenchrevolutionary assignats were long reference works in thisdomain.

He was always pleased to give advice in setting up exhibitions,mostly in France. He had a particular admiration for the Notesdesigned and produced by the Banque de France, for Franceitself as well as foreign countries, and of course for the Frenchformer colonies.

Since the 80’s his daughter Claude ( 2007) and son Michelwere closely involved with his work, both became enthusiasticcollectors and were also involved in organising banknoteconventions and exhibitions.

In 1975 Maurice founded the French Federation ofNumismatic Associations, and in 1979 the AssociationFrançaise pour l’Étude du Papier-Monnaie, together with hisdear friend and fellow author Maurice Kolsky.

In the early 70’s he was vice president of IBNS andcontributed a number articles for the IBNS Journal.

Several collectors in France were encouraged to startcollecting paper-money following their encounter withMaurice and his wife Janine.

Maurice Muszynski (1926-2010) était l'un des principauxcollectionneurs et experts français du papier-monnaie. Dès ledébut des années 60 il avait commencé à bâtir une collectionde billets du monde entier, ainsi qu'un réseau de relations avecles autres collectionneurs de premier plan, comme GeorgesThomas et Albert Pick.

Maurice était un fervent avocat des études sur le papiermonnaie. Ses catalogues importants sur les billets de laBanque de France et les Assignats de la Révolution françaiserestèrent longtemps les ouvrages de référence.

Il avait toujours plaisir à donner des conférences ou àprésenter des expositions, essentiellement en France. Ilpouvait y exprimer son admiration pour les billets produits parla Banque de France, pour la France bien sûr, mais aussi pourles pays étrangers aux premiers rangs desquels les anciennescolonies françaises.

Dès les années 80, sa fille Claude ( 2007) et son fils Michels’associèrent à ses activités et poursuivirent sa collection,organisant également des conférences et expositions.

Maurice était un des fondateurs en 1975 la FédérationFrançaise des Associations Numismatiques, et en 1979 del’Association Française pour l’Etude du Papier-monnaie, avecson très cher ami et co-auteur Maurice Kolsky.

Au début des années 70, il fut vice président de l’IBNS, etrédigea de nombreux articles pour sa revue.

De nombreux collectionneurs en France ont découvert lepapier monnaie à la suite de leur rencontre avec Maurice etson épouse Janine.

Spink is delighted to have been chosen to auction this wonderful collection on behalfof the Muszynski family and we hope our catalogue will assist in leaving a lasting

legacy of such an important collector and expert.

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 to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering 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. Imported 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. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

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 outside of the EU.
