Australia Commonwealth Bank of Australia 5 Pounds ND (1933-39) Pick 23a R44a PMG Very Fine 30. This higher denomination type is available in two varieties, of which the difference is quite subtle. This example, which is the first variety, features a pinkish cross-hatched engraving to King George V's face, and a slightly darker blue background in the two ovals on the front. The second variety lightened the portrait and backgrounds slightly. Nevertheless, both types are scarce. Repairs have been made to this note, and are mentioned for accuracy. From the Kevin O'Hara Australian Banknote Collection HID08701242017
Estimate: 1000-1200 USD
