This specimen along with the other we are offering in the next lot are part of the few we have handled for this rare design and certainly will be among some of the most desired lots in this fine banknote selection. This specimen shows with deeply embossed inks throughout the original paper and offers bold color in all the printed devices. Some mounting remnants at the back right are observed along with a printer's annotation at the top center of the face. Certainly a banknote which will highlight any collection it enters and easily the most significant rarity for this issuer. PMG About Uncirculated 55 Net. Previously Mounted.
