SOUTHERN RHODESIA. Southern Rhodesia Currency Board. 5 Pounds, 1951. P-11fs. Specimen. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.
5 pounds, specimen, 1st September 1951, Salisbury, control serial number range C/18 000,001-100,000. Blue and brown on pink and light green, George VI at right, factory lower center, the reverse shows Victoria Falls. The highest denomination of the series and an excellent note with fresh 'as printed' colors. The serial number range is complete for the prefix, i.e. only 100,000 issued notes were printed NOT 1,000,000 as might be expect. One of three specimens for the two dates in the PMG population report (September 1950 and September 1951) and this by far the highest grade! PMG comments "Previously Mounted".
From the Prosperity Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
