MORE ON ABNCO SPECIMEN ADVERTISING NOTESAuthor Roland Rollins submitted these comments and images relating to the 1929 10 Dollar advertising/specimen note issued by the American Bank Note Company of New York. -Editor 
This advertising banknote is rather plain compared to the allegorical type notes they produced, but they were attempting to market their product to what was being produced at the time. There are MANY variations of this note I have attributed in my test note catalogs - holographs, security strips, watermarks, Tyvek substrate (predecessor of polymer), and different backgrounds. 
Here's another with a hologram (ABNC-107a). 
Here's one attempting use by the U.S. (ABNC-114). A bit pricey - $12,000 last sale. 
This Liberty with Phrygian Cap 1929 series was printed in 1960s-70s. The portrait was used on Brazil P73 200 Mil Reis of1892 and Banque de Indo-Chine 500 Rubles of 1919. It was engraved by Alfred Jones in 1894.
