Serial Number 1 Ceylon Central Bank of Ceylon 50 Rupees 12.5.1954 Pick 52s Specimen PMG About Uncirculated 55. This handsome banknote is the second highest denomination of the Queen Elizabeth II series. Curiously, this example is seen with prefix R/17 and serial number 00001, which is the first first prefix and serial number for the date. This Specimen appears to have begun its life as an issued banknote with the highly collectible serial number 00002. After it was printed, Specimen overprints were added and it was mounted. Quite curious and assuredly unique. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/serial-number-1-ceylon-central-bank-of-ceylon-50-rupees-1251954-pick-52s-specimen-pmg-about-uncirculated-55/a/4036-25398.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4036-04212022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
