Optisch haben sich die Eskimo Eiskarten seit 1965 kaum verändert – abgesehen vom Logowechsel 1998 und dem Redesign 2003. Die Preise jedoch wurden im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder angepasst und auch geniale Eissorten kamen und gingen. Der gute Plattfuß, das Cheesie, das Eissandwich oder der legendäre Banana Joe.

This high denomination currency note was issued by the Banque de France from 1965 to 1979 (Date may vary). It is LARGER than U.S. Large Currency at almost 3.75" x 6.75"! It was demonetized in 1985 which drained most of the collectible supply because most note holders cashed them in. Very rare in high grade! The front depicts the great 1600's French playwright Corneille (the French Shakespeare and a contemporary of the latter). He appears before an arched, columned marble rotunda. Watermarks of an ancient Roman emperor and soldier flank his lifelike portrait while bouquets of flowers and historical symbols line the foreground. The back displays a different portrait of Corneille before a bird's eye view of Paris and the Seine. On the sides are shown his residence and the national theater where his plays were performed. The design of this banknote is in the style of French notes issued much earlier (1900-1930's) and it's the last of its kind. Bright bold color and crisp Very Fine to Extra Fine with 3-4 light folds and scattered pinholes in the left watermark (would grade About Extra Fine without the pinholes). Pinholes are present on all circulated notes of the type because old French banks stored them on spindles (long needle shaped vertical prongs). This is a very respectable grade for this note which is typically found with tears, missing pieces, rust stains, etc. Available in XF+ with just 1-2 well hidden nearly invisible pinholes for $50, in AU without pinholes for $75 and in ultra urare Choice Crisp Uncirculated condition for $100 (please email for those). Date and serial number may vary. A gorgeous historic French banknote that is seriously undervalued considering its size and beauty.
