Condition: I would grade this banknote as a very good to fine with all the details being relatively well preserved. The note has several vertical folds and one horizontal fold. It also has general heavy wrinkling and general soiling with some staining. It has several holes which where the folds meet. The corners are rounded and have appreciable losses. The note has general roughness, splits, and tears all along the edges. There are also losses along the edges which can be seen in the photos. The note has lost all of its of its original crispiness and is limp. Be that as it may, the note is still intact and in good shape. Here is your opportunity to secure a rare and very expensive note for your collection at a reasonable price. The note would make a great addition to your collection of Australian banknotes.
