Bermuda Bermuda Government 5 Pounds 17.2.1947 Pick 17 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. A superb offering, seldom seen in any grade. This is the highest denomination of the series, and was unpopular locally for many years. The first orange colored 5 Pounds were delivered in Bermuda in 1943, and, this example began circulating in September, 1947. Only 350,000 notes were issued with this date. The prefix scheme increases incrementally, which was a security measure to prevent counterfeiters from understanding the serial number and prefix relationship. Extant examples in issued form are seldom seen in any grade. An iconic King George VI banknote which is missing from many of the best collections of British Commonwealth notes. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/bermuda-bermuda-government-5-pounds-1721947-pick-17-pmg-choice-very-fine-35/a/4021-28020.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4021 HID08706262019 © 2019 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
