Israel - Lot of 3 banknotes 1, 5 Lirot 1948 - Anglo Palestine - F-VF - Cancelled
Full and partial perforation hole on each note, the origin of the note is a collector's son who kept them after their cancellation
The Anglo Palestine Banknote Series is the first official series of the State of Israel.
The banknotes were issued by the Bank of Anglo-Palestine on paper stamped with
colored dots as a means of preventing counterfeiting. Due to the short time left until
the declaration of the state, the banknotes were printed on engravings with decorations
that were generally prepared for printing Chinese banknotes.
Since the banknotes were printed before the establishment of the state, the names of the state and its currency
were not yet known, and therefore the name of the State of Israel does not appear on the banknotes at all.
The English Pound was chosen as the currency type.
