$1.00. Fr.236. 1899. No.R100000000A. Gem Crisp Uncirculated and a crackling-fresh example. The front centering is particularly compelling. This note combined with the immediately preceding lot represents both the first and the last note of the R-A block and constitutes a splendid pairing for the fancy serial number specialist!
As stated earlier in this currency section, serial number 100,000,000 notes are significantly rarer than their serial number 1 counterparts. Although a total of four number one notes are known of this signature combination, the banknote offered here is only the second 100,000,000 note to surface of this Friedberg number.
