All auctions / Coins & Banknotes / MACAU (SAR). Lot of (2). Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 1000 Patacas
Enigmatic 1981 1000 Patacas Printer's Model MACAU (SAR). Lot of (2). Banco Nacional Ultramarino. 1000 Patacas, ND (ca. 1987). P-Unlisted. Front & Back Printer's Models. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ to Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. A uniface obverse and reverse pair of a hand made, unadopted design for 1000 Patacas, dated 8th August 1981. The main design elements of this pair are similar to those of the final issued note, but with obvious differences in colour, size, and position. The hand painted designs, mainly the dragon on the obverse and the Macau-Taipa Bridge on the reverse, are in rich orange colours with excellent attention to fine details, creating an almost 'printer quality' piece of art. The 1000 Patacas note would not be issued for a full seven years from the date painted on the model, and it is very interesting to see that its issuance was conceptualised as early as 1981. The Marques-Dengucho signature combination seen on 1981 500 Patacas notes confirms the period in which this model was made. As to why the model was dated '5.11.87' and why the 1000 Patacas was only issued in 1988 remains unknown, but it may have been due to the weak global economy at the time. The model, made in 1981, could have been 'recycled' in 1987 when the decision to issue a 1000 Patacas note was confirmed. An enigmatic and mesmerising item. Estimate: $7,000 - $10,000. 背景迷離之1981年澳門壹仟圓印刷廠圖稿 1987年澳門大西洋銀行壹仟圓。單面正反面印刷廠圖稿。一對。 1981年8月8日澳門壹仟圓未刊手繪設計稿一對，含單面正、反面各一。其主要設計元素與最終流通票相若，但色彩、尺寸及位置存在明顯差異。手繪圖案——尤以正面騰龍與背面澳氹大橋為軸——施以濃郁橘彩，細節勾勒精妙入微，幾臻印刷級藝術造境。壹仟圓流通票直至圖稿標註年份七年後方告問世，此對圖稿展現其早在1981年便已進入構思階段，極具歷史價值。1981年伍佰圓上所見之Marques-Dengucho簽名組合，進一步證實此圖稿之創作時期。圖稿為何標註"5.11.87"日期，以及壹仟圓延至1988年方才發行之原因尚無定論，或因當時全球經濟疲弱所致。此套於1981年創作之設計稿，可能在1987年落實發行壹仟圓時被"重新啟用"。此乃一件縈繞謎思、令人沉醉之珍品。
