Our upcoming New York International Numismatic Convention Auction
in January will offer one of the nicest Dutch Colonial pieces we have offered
in recent memory. In lot 30193, bidders will have the opportunity to purchase a
1960 25 Gulden from Curacao certified by PMG as a Choice About Uncirculated 58
EPQ.
This is by far the finest example of this type on the PMG
census, with only three example of this type certified. This is not just the
only original EPQ example, it’s also the only one graded higher than VF. It is
truly a piece that offers fantastic condition and preservation. It is one of
the most sought after pieces in the Curacao catalog. Only a few examples survived
of this limited release that only saw minor circulation before the Netherlands
Indies currency of 1962 was released. As such, this is a piece missing from
some of even the most advanced collections. It is likely to find a new home in
a truly serious collection. It will carry a modest estimate of $7,500-$10,000.
