TITLE/DESCRIPTION: PANAMA LARGE SIZE "SERIES OF 1918A" FIFTY BALBOAS FANTASY ART BANKNOTE BY REED BANKNOTE CO., SARASOTA! CLASSIFICATION OF ITEM: Fantasy Art Banknote (non-genuine artistic creation that looks like real money, limited edition novelty bill) GRADE OR CONDITION OF ITEM(S): Uncirculated (new condition) ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION: No collection of rare Panamanian banknotes is complete without this spectacular, limited edition, full-color fantasy fifty balboas SPECIMEN note featuring two great ships and a red "A00000" serial number! This neat-looking pretend piece, about the size of an older large-size U. S. bill (approximately 7 1/4" long x 3 1/4" high), is one of the latest creations from the Reed Banknote Co., Sarasota! This is a piece of banknote art and not an actual banknote and purports to be from the fictitious "El Banco Americano de la Republica de Panama." It is graphic artist R. J. Reed's creation of what a 50 balboa note of "series 1918A" could have looked like had one been prepared, and is handsigned by the artist. This bill is part of a set of these bills to be released by Reed Banknote ranging in denominations from 1 to 1,000 balboas and printed only in a quantity of about 200 pieces of each denomination for the "series 1918A" issue. Be one of the few lucky and astute collectors to obtain this lovely piece while it's available! The note is printed on an ivory-colored security paper with embedded threads, including some that glow under UV. It has a separate security feature - a circular Reed Banknote repeating legend at right that glows red under UV. Additionally, a facsimile signature of artist R. J. Reed is also visible as red under UV and he has also hand-signed each bill on the right as well. This colorful bill has a gorgeous sailing ship on the left and a large four-funnel ocean liner circa the early 20th century on the right on the front. The liner bears the name of graphic artist Reed's mother in her honor and this vignette is similar to the one on the small size "series of 1941" Panama 50 balboas note earlier designed by Reed. On the back (similar back design on all notes of the series except for the 1000 balboa) is a seated lady (different back than the series 1918 bills). At top center is the motto "PRO MUNDI BENEFICIO" (for the benefit of the world - i. e. the Panama Canal). Again, this is a piece of banknote art and not a genuine bill, despite it's realistic appearance. This professionally printed fantasy looks real, is great for display, and won't cost you much (and you won't have to worry about it getting stolen!). The back of the bill has the following words above the vignette in the top center of the note (see also above scans): NON-NEGOTIABLE FANTASY ART BANKNOTE - FOR COLLECTORS, DISPLAY, OR PROP USE ONLY. ARTISTIC CONCEPT - NOT A GENUINE EMISSION OF PANAMA. © 2015 RICHARD J. REED CONCEPTO ARTISTICO - NO UNA EMISSION ORIGINAL DE PANAMA. You can see that this bill is totally in compliance with the Hobby Protection Act, so that unscrupulous individuals can't try to sell it as genuine. Great for display in your shop, coin show or flea market booth, den, or use as an eye-catching prop in your next production! This note will be shipped in a clear, see-through holder with a cardboard insert in an envelope. Once again, this note is not a genuine issue of Panama, just a neat artistic creation! Este billete de banco no es genuino! This will make a great addition to your world note collection! Please check out my ebay store for more neat items!

If you are planning on purchasing a large amount of goods, whether verified or not, please contact us prior to placing your bid/purchase order. FOR PURCHASES BY INTERNATIONAL BUYERS FOR SHIPMENT OUTSIDE THE USA PAYMENT: We will accept PayPal payment from international buyers only if the item(s) purchased are available for shipment outside the USA.

If you are planning on purchasing a large amount of goods, whether verified or not, please contact us prior to placing your bid/purchase order.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL BUYERS DELIVERY: Every effort is made to send the merchandise to the buyer as soon after payment is received as possible. Bear in mind that once the package has been mailed, it is out of our hands. Overseas packages, particularly registered packages, can be very slow in reaching their destination, so please be patient.

Please remember to leave us (hopefully) great five star seller feedback on all points. It is our goal to provide a wonderful buying experience to all of our customers. If there is a problem with your order, please give us a chance to make it right before leaving hasty and derogatory feedback. In order to keep ebay from being overwhelmed by a few large sellers who will then be free to monopolize and control the market, please support us and the other "little guys" out there who deliver a great product in a timely manner and offer you items that you may not be able to find anywhere else (at least at a reasonable price)! SPECIAL DISCLAIMER CONCERNING ART, NOVELTY, PROP, & OTHER NON-NOTES: Rarely we come across buyers who have unrealistic expectations about the quality of non-genuine banknotes that we sometimes offer for sale. These include movie prop notes, common novelty bills, Chinese hell notes, political notes, replica notes, reprint notes, and fantasy art bills. Due to the fact that these "notes" are not issued by some monetary authority for use as real currency, they can not be held to the same print quality or paper quality standards as a genuine banknote printed by one of the big banknote companies like American Banknote or Thomas de la Rue. Quality can vary depending on the type of "funny money" bill but they will definitely not be up to the standards of a banknote that has been created by fine-steel engraving.
