Mujand special: the Mont Blanc fountain pen note
Recently I wrote a piece about several of my hobbies (in no particular order: banknotes, fountain pens and tea) and how I like it when somehow these hobbies can be combined. In that piece I showed several banknotes with tea themes on it but I also wrote about not being able to find any banknotes with fountain pens on it.
Well...
Celsus Solar of Mujand, famous for the fantasy banknote series of the imaginary planet Blissdane Naïve and the more recent series of Dutch colonies (you can read all the reviews of these different sets here), has risen to the challenge and surprised me with a great personal gift. I received a set of these fantastic notes celebrating the beauty of one of the top brands in the fountain pen world: Mont Blanc.
I love the fact that different facets of the fountain pen can be seen: the filling mechanism, the nib unit and also some beautiful exemples of calligraphy. And of course: how cool is it to own a note with your name on it? 
Just for the record: these notes aren't anywhere for sale but do they do show the craftsmanship of Celsus Solar of Mujand. His commercially available sets can be viewed here. These sets from Mujand are sold excusively by Yuri111 and fantasy_notes_and_more on eBay.

Hi Duncan, what a great tip! Thank you very much!
I’ve written a separate post about it. http://stevenbron.nl/2016/09/20/a-founta..
Hi Steven, concerning fountain pens have you considered Cape Verde 2000 Escudos issued in 1999? Printed by De La Rue it features poet Eugenio Tavares. His fountain pen features as a front-to-back see-through register. It’s also overprinted on a hologram of an open book and the nib features within the demetallised security thread. The reverse of the note has lines from his poem “morna aguada”. Kind regards, Duncan
