Some Un-adopted Bank Note Designs

India
- India 1996. Indian bank note of 5 rupees.
- Slania's Gandhi-engraving (1990), scanned from an image in the catalogue of Jerzy Krysiak's exhibition in the Postal Museum in Wroclaw (Poland) 2001, at the occasion of Slania's 80th birthday.
Beyond the obvious same pose, the two engravings are very different. Handling of the sparse hair on Gandhi's head and the moustache hairs is quite different. More private engravings of politicians are shown on this page.
Iran
- Iran 2003. Two different banknotes showing the portrait of Ayatollah Khomeini.
The portrait of the Ayatollah on the two banknotes was produced in two different sizes exactly as shown, and are probably two different engravings.
Poland
- Slania's portrait engraving (1941) of his girlfriend.
- Poland 1941. The final banknote (P101), is not engraved by Slania.
At the time of the engraving he was only 20 years old, and had not yet emigrated to Sweden.
- President Joseph Saidu Momoh, Sierra Leone 1988-1993 and a 20-Leone banknote, in use 1988-1993, with the portrait of Joseph Saidu Momoh.
- Uruguay 1988. Reverse side of a 50 Nuevos Pesos bank note. P61A.
- Uruguay 1994. Reverse side of a 1000 Nuevos Pesos bank note, first issued 1992, re-issued 1994. P64Ab.
Please note that the two bank notes are of different size, exactly as shown here.
