Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice very fine. The note shows fold, creases, and general wrinkling. It is fairly soiled with some minor stains especially on the back. The banknote has no graffiti, no, pinholes, no tears, no splits, and no repairs. It may have been flattened and its corner, although intact, show rounding. The edges of the note show general roughness and some minor nicks. Be that as it may, this is a nice example of a rather uncommon revolutionary note worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
