Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice very fine with all the details being still well preserved. The note is of thick and heavy stiff paper. The note may have been flattened and has several vertical folds and a horizontal folds. It also has signs of general wrinkling. It is lightly soiled has one small stain at the right edge near the top corner of the front. It also has a few minor marks or stains here and there that can be barley seen. The corners are intact and fairly squared with minor rounding. The note has two pinholes, looks like a staple was removed, which can be seen near the right top corner on the back but is not visible from the front. It has no graffiti, no tears and no splits. The edges of the note are intact but show some minor roughness. A great example of this scarce note to add to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition
