This is an uncommon and exceptionally scarce collection of Specimens from the renowned “Trillion” series, originating from Zimbabwe and issued during a brief yet extraordinary period of hyperinflation in the African nation. Examples from this series are rare, and while this set is not complete, it is believed that many of these notes are the first to be offered in Specimen form.
