Condition: I would grade this banknote as a beautiful extremely fine with signs of circulation. The note has three vertical folds with no observable horizontal folds. The note also has a few wrinkles here and there and is lightly soiled but has no obvious objectionable staining. The note has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. Its edges are intact with minimum observable roughness in the middle of both top and bottom edges. The corners are intact and squared with some minor rounding. The note has two small shiny spots along both left and right edge of the back at the middle. We are not certain what they are but are there. Other than that, this is a great looking banknote which would make a great addition to your collection. Please see the photos for additional condition information.
