LIVE AUCTION Closing date Tuesday, April 2, 2019 CGB Numismatics Paris 429 lots are for sale at this April 2, 2019 Live Auction, which breaks down into three chapters, i.e. two collections and a refined selection of banknotes. 4290025 The Remi Dargent collection (lots 4290001 to 4290129) is mainly made-up of small-sized notes, billets de nécessité (Notgeld), coupons and vouchers from all over the world, from the Banque de Law era to the early 1920s. This rare collection will allow you to discover paper money from the plantations in French Cochinchina (lot 4290071, a complete series of issuances from the Société des Plantations in Honquan), coupons from merchants in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia (lot 4290063, 1-piastre coupon Union des commerçants (merchants association) of Dire Dawa, the second known copy only, after that of Dr. Kolsky) or vouchers from the Continental Palace in Saigon (lots 4290072, 4290073 and 4290074). Of course, the money-stamps of Madagascar and issuances from the Chambers of Commerce in Oceania and Djibouti are also largely represented. More and more hobbyists seek these small notes, especially in good condition. It is also worth noting an exceptional 1-Dollar – 1-Piastre note of 1891 for Indochina (lot 4290075) and a very interesting selection from the Netherlands. Among issuances from the Netherlands, you will also find an outstanding and extremely rare 2 Livres - 18 Sols 1795 note (lot 4290114). A rare set to be closely examined! The second collection to be auctioned off (lots 4290130 to 4290176) is a standard one – focused on the Banque de France and error notes. It was built-up by Stéphane Lelièvre, a young collector who managed to compile a lovely selection of notes and a series of error notes, which is always challenging. You may find among these the rare gem you’ve been 5
