WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORDA few months prior to our auctions, I am often asked what notes I have lined up, to which the honest answer is usuallynothing! This always leads me to worrying that we will have a rather thin offering, but the reality is that materialalways seems to flood in at the last minute and so far we seem to have been able to create several banknote‘behemoths’ every year. I suppose we should stop worrying and enjoy it while we can.

The April auctions comprise almost 3500 lots in five catalogues. Firstly we have a lovely selection of Queen ElizabethII currency all featuring portraits of the Queen. These notes are often more popular than George VI notes, perhapsdue to their relative availability and attractiveness. Following this comes a colourful group of African banknotes; TheMichael Jowett Collection. Africa is very much flavour of the month at the moment and this is a most attractiveselection from a continent that is becoming increasingly difficult to source original and scarce material from. Thenfollows The ‘Uncirculated’ Collection which does exactly what it says on the tin. You will find a very pleasing selectionof notes in top class condition, aimed at a market where quality seems to be the ultimate objective wherever possible.

We continue with our general World Banknotes auction which has some remarkable rarities. The crown jewels beinga set of United Arab Republic notes in dinar denominations; hitherto unknown and a very exciting find. These noteshave already created a vigorous frisson of anticipation from our clients in the Middle East. There is an issued anduncirculated Qatar and Dubai 25 riyals in perfect uncirculated grade, a highly prized banknote, a lovely selection ofcomposite essays (my favourite), and some beautiful specimens of course (nothing wrong with that, and we have tokeep up appearances). Perhaps most spectacular of all are the contents of a Waterlow & Sons colour trial book.Scattered throughout the sale you can find beautifully designed and engraved banknotes from all sorts of countries,including a Zanzibar colour trial 20 rupees. The Waterlow archive is believed to have been destroyed during the Blitz,so these treasures show up only very infrequently.

Finally, don’t forget (like I almost did in my excitement) we have a British sale the following week with several almostunbelievable notes on offer. These include several O’Brien number 1 notes (try finding these), an extremely rare £500Mahon, and a £500 Peppiatt ‘Leeds’ believed to be the only example in private hands.

Please enjoy the catalogues and July and October here we come…Barnaby, Andrew, Monica and Thomasina

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.
