Condition:  I would grade this banknote as very good or better. This is a well used note, abused but still intact. The corners of the note are intact with minimum rounding but show signs of creasing and folding. The not shows some discoloration, quite a bit of staining along the top edge, a small tear again on the top edge, which does not reach the design, and general wrinkling. The note has no pinholes or graffiti. It has vertical and horizontal folds and some general roughness to the edges from use.  The note itself is limp and has lost most of its original crispiness. The note still has an overall attractive appearance. Please see photo for additional condition information.
