Condition: I would grade this banknote as very fine with all of its details being well preserved. The banknote has two pinholes above the number 100 to the left of the front suggesting that a staple was removed. Other than that, the note has several vertical folds, a horizontal fold, is soiled, and some bumps at the corners. The note has no large and objectionable stains, but has several small spots here and there. The note has no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. The edges are intact with some minor roughness with the corners being intact with some bumps and some rounding. A nice example of this relatively uncommon banknote that is hard to come by for your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
