Condition: I would grade this banknote as very fine or better. The banknote is soiled, with a heavy central vertical crease and several additional vertical folds. It has a horizontal fold, some minor stains but non that are large and objectionable. The corners are intact with some minor rounding and several bumps. The edges show some minor roughness. However, the note has no tears or splits. It also has no graffiti and no pinholes. A nice piece to add to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
