Australia Commonwealth of Australia £5 ND (1927) Pick 13c R41L. The heavy blue intaglio inks and brightly colored underprints are hallmarks of this appealing example. A view of the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales is featured as the vignette on the back. This particular variety has the title of EC Riddle as the Chairman of Directors, Note Issue Department instead of Governor, Commonwealth Bank of Australia. This error was quickly corrected, leading to the relative rarity of this run, which only carried the prefixes Q11 and Q12. This note serves as the plate note on page 225 in the 27th edition of the Renniks Australian Coin and Banknote Values Guide. Graded, PMG Choice Very Fine 35, our research shows this is the finest known survivor and remains the lone example graded by this service. Ex: Dr. Alan Nicholson Collection (Noble 11/95), Lot 1767. From the Drs. Joanne and Edward Dauer Collection of Australian Banknotes HID08701242017

Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
