Material & Vignettes 

 

Banco Central De Venezuela Original Artwork. 

 

Lot # 2602. Banco Central De Venezuela Original Artwork. 1971-72. P-Unlisted. 500 Bolivares

Unique face model or mockup essay with original artwork of proposed ABNC design for P-56, 1971-72 Caracas Issue.

Front mockup proof. Mounted on grey card. TDLR is listed as the printer and evidently had their note design accepted and

ABNC's note was rejected. Amazing artistry involved in the design and production of this model. It appears that the vignette

of the "La Batella De Carabobo" is hand painted onto the note. Bolivar's vignette is possibly hand drawn as well. The note was

partially hand drawn with pieces of borders and cycloid tints added. Unique Venezuela banknoteartwork in archive. Choice Unc. ABNC.
