Pick #127a 1000 Seriboe Roepiah Netherlands Indies Japanese Occupation PMG Choice Fine 15

The biggest denomination of 1000 Rupiah numismatics paper from the Netherlands Indies' Japanese Occupation stable, a note that was issued, but apparently, never put to use or never had the chance to be put to use.

As such, most of this 1000 Rupiah or rather Roepiah issue are found in very good condition & the worst condition one could find would always be in AUNC condition & usually any piece up for sale online would most of the time, if not all of the time, either be in AUNC or UNC itself.

The rag featured here thus is unusual, rare if you love this word that much, as it's in a well circulated condition with all the complete signs of thorough & proper natural circulation & above all, credit should be given to PMG for having graded it a deserving Choice Fine 15.

Paradoxically, if this issue was never put into circulation as numismatics grapevine had us believe all these years, then, how did this note got itself so nicely circulated all over then Indonesia, or the so-called numismatics grapevine's talk is nothing but mere hogwash?!

Apparently, there are many fakes or rather forgeries of this issue but it's rather easy to detect a forgery copy as it has an 'extra feature' that the real McCoy doesn't have & as such, it will never be encapsulated by PMG as PMG seems to be experts in this issue as all the forgeries submitted to them apparently had all been returned in bodybags.
