I had the privilege to photograph what is undoubtedly the most complete privately owned collection of Bank Legals. Since most collectors will never have a chance to handle to view these notes in person I thought I would share them here.

Amazing art and design. That fragment is interesting and the history would be cool to know. Thanks for sharing

Nice - These are not in BoC museum collection?
-
The notes shown are from a private collection. Many of these are the notes featured in the CGPM catalogue. The BoC does have some of the notes that are missing such as the 1896 specimens. I assume that the BoC also has duplicates of most of these notes but I'm not exactly sure what their collection contains.
