Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:42676028 | Conflict: Boer War (1899-1902) |
The rarest of all Mafeking Siege issues. These notes were printed with a "blueprint" process, and features a quite detailed and enjoyable vignette of Commander Baden-Powell, what might be the famous Mafeking Gun, Union Jack, soldiers, and civilians. It is rumored that Baden-Powell, the father of the Boy Scouts, got into trouble for not including the sitting monarch, Queen Victoria, but rather a picture of himself. Interestingly, as these were considered to be private checks, an emboss...ed revenue seal from Bechuanaland is also seen. Handsigned with serial number 226, and to be redeemed at the Standard Bank in Mafeking.
