Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice very fine with all the details being well preserved. The note shows circulation and has several vertical and one horizontal fold. It has light creases and wrinkling throughout. The paper is soiled and has stains. The stains are darker on the back than on the front. They are brown in color. The note has no tears, no splits, no graffiti, and no pinholes. The edges show some roughness especially at the ends of the folds and the corners show rounding but they are still intact. The paper is still stiff and the note's colors are clear but are not very bright. Be that as it may, this is a nice note, which would make a good addition to your collection. Please see scans for additional condition information.
