    Very Rare Bank Notes from The Most Serene Republic of Excelsior - Foreign note. Shipped with USPS First Class.
    The Most Serene Republic of Excelsior is located among the southern islands of Chile off shore from the Land of Fire. Excelsior is located at Latitude –52 31 60 South and 72 55 00 West. Excelsior is 2.3 nautical miles from Fiordo Isla and 4 nautical miles from Meta Isla.
    The Most Serene Republic of Excelsior was settled in 1858. A sea captain was hired by a small group of Quakers from England and a small group of Laestadian Lutherans from Finland. Both groups, unable to hire a ship themselves, joined together to hire a seaworthy ship and crew to take them to the tropical Pacific Ocean.
    The dream for each group was religious freedom on their own tropical isle. Unfortunately, a storm and rough seas around the southern tip of South America put a close to the dream. The shallow waters around the island damaged the vessel beyond repair.
    A few died as the ship floundered in the rough seas breaking up in the shallow waters. Survivors managed to come ashore with some cattle and belongings that were saved. From this humble beginning, the Most Serene Republic of Excelsior was born.
    While friendships developed at sea, the group quickly learned both groups held to an integrity and honesty in their dealings, deep religious convictions and sense of cooperation common to both groups. The result was a marriage that allowed the small group of settlers to build a self-sufficient society where all needs were met.
    Today The Most Serene Republic Of Excelsior operates as a free republic governed by the common will of the elders of each family. The Elders tend to all business of Government.
