Robb states that the prefix was issued in error and that the correct prefix should have been K/0 (letter over number). He estimates that approximately 300,000 were printed around 1955. Robb also notes that the prefix run is 'the end of a sub type, as well as the mintage figure, has created the rarest Reserve Bank note'.
In 1998 Robb records that only 7 notes were known. In 2018 Scott de Young has 11 notes recorded, one being unconfirmed (may be a duplication with a one digit difference in serial number), this includes the note in the next lot. Therefore 10 confirmed. It is interesting that only a further three notes have surfaced in the past 20 years. There are also two proof and three specimens in existence.
