This is not a real payment, but in the original it is an unaccepted design for the emerging U.S. state from the 1920 American Banknote Company. These designs were created only by collage (by cutting out existing designs and gluing them onto paper), then photographed in silver bromide and sent to issuers with an offer to print banknotes. This is a very laborious preparation, where the individual parts have to be analysed, redrawn and the drawing of guilloches and other elements selected. Many parts have to be redrawn by hand and vector transformed into the actual image. It is not a reprint or a copy, the whole "banknote" is created from scratch.
IN THIS CASE, IT IS NOT A FINAL PRINTING, but only a test (marked on the face with the microtext TEST around the motif) to show whether the current elements are correctly created and how the banknote will look. There are many parts that will still undergo significant variation. A simplified No. Budějovice from a postcard from 1900, the obverse features a redrawn portrait of T. G. Masaryk, but the original engraving from ABNCo is not used here. The dates in the texts refer to the beginning of the graphic design and to the state as of 25 July. The final printing could take place in 2022 at the earliest.
This is not a Matěj Gábris print, issued under the Budweiser banknotes brand, printing in July 2021.
Except for the iris, 2 types of UV printing used.
Printed 830 sheets (with 2 pieces/sheet), but numbered only 757 of each variant, 2 in total:
- series A....B (type 1) with numbers 000001 - 000757, the obverse has only one iris underprint (yellow-orange red), the reverse olive green
- series B....B (type 2) with numbers 000001 - 000757, the obverse has 2 underprints, the first as type 1, the second is light blue (with UV colour), the reverse is brown.
If both types are purchased, they will be sent with the same numbers.
Part of the production goes to presentation sales, part will remain for further trials and testing.
