Australia: 1 Pound 1900 Western Australian Bank SPECIMEN with "Specimen" perforation, specimen serial numbers 350001-400000. Rennick's Catalog MVR3c -£ 1 specimen ,catalog A$ 36,000. This type of note as Specimen is very seldom offered for sale in Australia. West Australia discovered gold in the 1850s and became a major goldmining state and these higher value notes changed hands a lot, as a result used notes are almost never found. Specimens are equally a great rarity. These are pre-Federation notes, Western Australia became part of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The Western Australian Bank operated till it was absorbed by the Bank of New South Wales in 1927. The note is unsigned, imprint of "Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Engravers London". Very light minor stain at upper border, crisp original paper without holes or tears, condition: aUNC.
