Date: No Date but known to have been issued in 1940.
Printer: Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company.
Size: The banknote measures ~5 5/16" by ~2 15/16".
Pick Number: P 18 and is listed in the Banknote Book as B117a.
Condition: I would grade the note as very fine. The note has folds, wrinkling, and many bumps. It is heavily soiled with some staining especially on the back. The colors are slightly faded and the corners are rounded with bumps and the top left corner in the front has a small split in the paper. The note has roughness along the edges and has a nick or two at the ends of the folds. The note has no graffiti, no pinholes, and no tears. Be that as it may, this is an acceptable example of this rather elusive banknote that deserve a spot in your collection. Please see the scans for additional condition information.
