Keelings Cocos,
September 26, 1879, fc. 1/4 Rupee Copper, P-Unlisted earlier date
1879, Listed in SCWPM dating from 1887 to 1888, Black printing,
Small size, 54 x 42mm, Hand signed by J.C. Ross, embossed seal at
center top, S/N 943, VF to XF condition. Amazing high grade note
with most examples from the 1887 time period usually with signifi-
cant ink burn, this unlisted earlier issue has no ink burn, bright and
clear printing as well as legible handwritten dates and signature. It
appears to be printed on sheepskin, but please inspect, the later
1887-88 Issue is unpriced in SCWPM and this unlisted earlier issue
should attract considerable interest. The Keeling Cocos Islands are a
group of 27 small coral islands located in the Indian Ocean, first dis-
covered in 1609. In 1857 they became a British Protectorate and
were administered by the Clunies-Ross family until the islands were
sold to Australia in 1978. Rare and desirable note possibly never
offered before at public auction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
