Up for auction is an exceptional Ceylon 5 Rupees Banknote, issued between 1941 and 1949, cataloged as Pick# 36, and graded PMG 35 Choice Very Fine. This highly collectible banknote from colonial Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) offers a fascinating glimpse into the nation’s pre-independence monetary system.

Key Details:

• Denomination: 5 Rupees
• Issue Years: 1941-1949
• Pick Number: 36
• Grade: PMG 35 (Choice Very Fine)

Historical Background: This 5 Rupees banknote was issued during a critical period in Ceylon's history, as the country navigated the challenges of World War II and the post-war era before gaining independence from British rule in 1948. The Pick# 36 series reflects Ceylon's colonial past, with the British monarch depicted on the obverse and intricate local designs symbolizing the island’s rich heritage.

Why This Note is Special:

• Condition: Graded PMG 35 Choice Very Fine, this note has seen circulation but remains in excellent condition, with strong details and minimal signs of wear. It is well-preserved, making it an attractive piece for collectors.
• Design: The note features a portrait of King George VI on the obverse, along with detailed and historically rich designs representing Ceylon’s cultural and economic background. The reverse showcases local motifs that provide insight into the island's heritage during the colonial period.

Collectibility and Investment Potential: The Ceylon 5 Rupees Pick# 36 is a highly collectible banknote due to its historical significance, attractive design, and the relatively high grade of PMG 35. Notes from this era are becoming increasingly scarce in good condition, especially with strong details intact. The grade of Choice Very Fine indicates that the note is in prime collectible condition for its age.

As the market for colonial and pre-independence banknotes grows, owning a note like this offers both historical value and potential appreciation, making it a solid investment for any world currency collector.

Service professionals. Our unyielding commitment to your satisfaction and our expert staff stand ready to make your experience with Bloc Galleries outstanding.

 

OUR MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE

 

Purchasing online collectibles can be subjective, meaning photos sometimes need to meet our client's expectations or interpretation. So many variables come into play with antique, vintage, and collectible items that we understand anything unexpected can be returned for any reason due to this unique nature. 

 

We process tens of thousands of items annually, and occasionally, mistakes happen with listing numbers, lots, photos, or other weird stuff. When that occurs, we always try to provide a substitute for a better grade or condition for the same or reduced price. We have successfully made those situations a win-win opportunity for the customer and our gallery, so please don't worry about an item that might not be as expected. We will make it right. If not wholly pleased, receive a full refund, including return shipping, at our expense. Please get in touch with us (eBay, phone, or text) before posting feedback; this allows us to perform and make things right.

 

SHIPPING & HANDLING

 

We carefully package and ship out twice weekly; our offices are closed on weekends and holidays. We typically see short delivery times because we are in the central part of the United States. The buyer's confirmed address must be shipping from Fargo, North Dakota, via FedEx, USPS, and UPS PO Boxes—extra shipping for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, or other US territories. We are tracking orders over $200. Taxes are charged according to State laws.

 

SHIPPING

 

We offer a “Flat Rate” shipping rate of $6.50, including combined shipping on multiple orders. 

 

INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES

 

We typically use eBay's Global Shipping, and for about 90% of our international clients, the rate has been averaging around $14. If it's significantly higher, we will generally contact you and let you know. Combined orders receive a quoted rate, and we do not provide free shipping on international orders. Check eligibility due to customs and regulations; international returns are not accepted.
