ITEM #1053 – SOLD

1935 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO $1 “MAP NOTE”

An exceptional example of one of Trinidad & Tobago’s most recognizable early banknotes. Issued 1st September 1935, this $1 represents the first date of issue of the celebrated 1935–1949 “Map Note” series and is catalogued as Pick 5a.

With its impressive state of preservation, this is the type of example that becomes increasingly difficult to locate as collectors move beyond the commonly encountered circulated grades. Examples above VF20 are particularly challenging finds, especially with strong, original paper quality.

Printed by Thomas De La Rue, London, the note showcases the extraordinary artistry of the series: a sailing ship approaching Trinidad’s mountainous coastline and harbour at left, contrasted by the palm lined Tobago landscape and sailing vessel at right.

A vibrant multicolour underprint sits beneath the intricate blue engraving, while the reverse displays the colonial Coat of Arms surrounded by elaborate guilloché work.

Most importantly, this example has received PMG’s Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ) designation, confirming the originality of its paper. The combination of the first 1935 issue, fractional serial prefix, higher collectible grade and EPQ designation makes this an especially difficult configuration to acquire.
A beautiful survivor from the beginning of Trinidad & Tobago’s iconic Map Note series and an important piece for the advanced collector of Trinidad & Tobago and British Caribbean currency.

1981 Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Sterling Silver Proof Set

The 1981 Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Sterling Silver Proof Set stands as one of the most visually striking modern issues produced for the nation, commemorating the Fifth Anniversary of the Republic (1976–1981). Struck by the renowned Franklin Mint in sterling silver, the set contains the complete circulating denomination series from 1 cent to 10 dollars, each meticulously finished to proof standard with frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields. Housed in its distinctive green presentation case with certificate, it remains one of the finest representations of Trinidad and Tobago's circulating coinage in precious metal.
What makes this set particularly appealing is its celebration of the country's unique wildlife and national identity. The iconic Scarlet Ibis graces the $5, the majestic Cocrico appears on the $1, while the beloved Hummingbird, Chaconia flower, and other familiar national motifs complete the lower denominations. At the heart of the collection is the commemorative $10 silver proof, specially designed to mark five years as a republic, making it exclusive to this anniversary issue and the centerpiece of the set.

Today, complete examples with the original Franklin Mint case, certificate, and untarnished coins are becoming increasingly desirable among collectors of Trinidad and Tobago numismatics. Many surviving sets have been broken apart for their silver content or individual coin sales, making fully intact examples progressively scarcer. Beyond its intrinsic silver value, the set represents an important chapter in the nation's numismatic history a beautiful fusion of artistry, national pride, and one of the finest proof issues ever produced for Trinidad and Tobago.

A CENTURY OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO’S MONETARY HISTORY 🇹🇹

A beautiful little collection tracing Trinidad & Tobago through the changing faces of British rule, regional Caribbean currency and finally into the era of our own Central Bank. Included are three historic British silver coins spanning the reigns of Queen Victoria and King George V, alongside three $1 banknotes representing important stages in the development of our paper currency.

Leading the group is the 28th November 1950 British Caribbean Territories (Eastern Group) $1, featuring King George VI and the iconic Caribbean map design. This was part of the very first unified currency issue produced for the participating British Caribbean territories, including Trinidad & Tobago, with the reverse incorporating the arms and badges of the member territories. Completing the journey are two early Central Bank of Trinidad & Tobago $1 notes one bearing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II from the original 1964 series and the later Coat of Arms design representing the transition to Trinidad & Tobago's own national currency following Independence.

More than simply old coins and banknotes, this collection captures the evolution of money used by generations of Trinidadians from Victorian sterling silver, through the British Caribbean monetary union, to the independent Trinidad & Tobago dollar. An attractive historical grouping where every piece represents another chapter in the country's monetary story

1935 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO $1 “MAP NOTE” – FRACTIONAL SERIAL

An exceptional example of one of Trinidad & Tobago’s most recognizable early banknotes. Issued 1st September 1935, this $1 represents the first date of issue of the celebrated 1935–1949 “Map Note” series and is catalogued as Pick 5a.

What makes this example particularly special is its C/10 fractional serial prefix. These early fractional-prefix notes are considerably more difficult to encounter, adding another important element of scarcity to an already elusive issue. Combined with its impressive state of preservation, this is the type of example that becomes increasingly difficult to locate as collectors move beyond the commonly encountered circulated grades. Examples above VF20 are particularly challenging finds, especially with strong, original paper quality.

Printed by Thomas De La Rue, London, the note showcases the extraordinary artistry of the series: a sailing ship approaching Trinidad’s mountainous coastline and harbour at left, contrasted by the palm lined Tobago landscape and sailing vessel at right.

1966 Great Britain Gold Sovereign

Few gold coins command the global recognition of the British Gold Sovereign. First introduced in 1817, the sovereign has served as both a circulating coin and a trusted store of wealth for more than two centuries. This 1966 issue features the youthful portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, paired with Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless masterpiece of Saint George slaying the dragon a design that has become synonymous with British numismatics and remains one of the most admired coin engravings ever created.

Containing 0.2354 troy ounces of pure gold, it bridges the gap between history and investment, making it equally appealing to collectors seeking an iconic design and investors looking for a highly liquid, internationally recognized gold coin. Its enduring popularity is a testament to both its craftsmanship and the confidence it has inspired across the world.
This example displays exceptional eye appeal, with vibrant original luster, sharply struck details, and beautifully preserved surfaces that showcase the artistry of both the obverse and reverse. Whether admired for its historical significance, precious metal content, or classic design, the Gold Sovereign remains one of the cornerstones of world numismatics. A coin whose legacy has stood the test of time and continues to captivate collectors across generations.

1973 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 8 COIN SET

The 1973 Trinidad and Tobago Eight Coin Proof Set is one of the most desirable modern issues produced for the Republic. Struck by the Franklin Mint under authorization of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. The set contains the complete circulating coinage of the nation, from 1 cent through $10, and is presented here with its original case, Certificate of Authenticity, and accompanying documentation. Collectors place a premium on complete original sets such as this, particularly when all paperwork remains intact nearly fifty years after issue.

What makes this set especially desirable is the inclusion of the sterling silver $5 and $10 denominations. The iconic $5 features the Scarlet Ibis, Trinidad’s national bird, while the $10 showcases a map of Trinidad and Tobago surrounded by marine life, reflecting the nation’s close connection to the sea. The remaining denominations highlight other national symbols including the Cocrico, Chaconia, Steelpan, and the Coat of Arms, creating a miniature showcase of Trinidad and Tobago’s natural and cultural heritage.

Unlike ordinary circulation coins, proof coins are specially struck using highly polished dies and carefully prepared planchets. This process produces mirror like fields and sharply detailed frosted designs that give the coins their distinctive appearance. Originally sealed within their presentation holder to preserve their pristine surfaces, proof sets such as this were produced for collectors rather than everyday commerce. Nearly half a century later, the 1973 Proof Set remains a beautiful snapshot of the young Republic and an important piece of Trinidad and Tobago’s numismatic history.
