Serial Number 1 South Africa Upington Border Scouts 5 Pounds 1.2.1902 Pick Unlisted PMG Very Fine 25. Cloth examples issued in Upington during the Boer War do not come up for sale frequently, in fact, we have only ever offered 3. When they do appear on the auction block, they are invariably cancelled and in lower grade. This unlisted highest denomination is not cancelled, surprisingly bright, and clear. Added to this already impressive note, one can make out serial "Q1" top left written by hand. The Pick Plate note in Hern's South African Banknotes. The cataloger is astonished to how many boxes are checked by this wartime relic, and is anticipating vigorous interest come auction day. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/serial-number-1-south-africa-upington-border-scouts-5-pounds-121902-pick-unlisted-pmg-very-fine-25/a/4036-25754.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4036-04212022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
