Bermuda Bermuda Government 2 Shillings 6 Pence 1.8.1920 Pick 2s Specimen PMG About Uncirculated 50 Net. The 2 Shillings 6 Pence note for the Government of Bermuda is extremely rare in any format. Thomas de la Rue correspondence with the Government of Bermuda indicates that 40,000 notes were printed and shipped to Bermuda. However, it is unknown if any were issued as the paper was thin and not suitable for a tropical climate. At the time of cataloging, this Specimen may be the only relic extant of this long lost type note. It is a fully printed Specimen, which was then perforated cancelled and mounted for rigidity. It has since been removed from the matting and shows evidence of mounting and edge damage. Nonetheless the key note for Bermuda and nearly impossible to obtain. Currently the only example graded by PMG.
