Description: A nice apparent uncirculated Banknote from Rhodesia. This is the 20th October 1978 five dollars currency note issued by the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia. The front of the banknote brown and depicts the bank's logo in the center near the top, the Rhodesia arms to the right and a Giraffe standing in the bottom left corner on the front. The back, which is also brown in color, depicts the image of two lions in the bush in gray colors. The front of the banknote displays the date, the denomination, the serial number and one signature while the back only displays the name of the bank and the denomination. The banknote has a watermark depicting the bust of C. Rhodes as well as a solid security thread right of center. This particular note has the serial number M/19 538342 shown twice in red on the front. This is Pick Number 36b. A beautiful note from a country that no longer exists to add to your collection. Please carefully review the scan as it is part and parcel of our description.
Date: October 20, 1978.
Printer: Reserve Bank of Rhodesia.
Size: The banknote measures ~6" by ~3 3/8".
Pick Number: P 36b and is listed in the Banknote Book as B109c.
Condition: I would grade this banknote as apparent uncirculated. The note has all of its details very well preserved. It has squared corners with no observable rounding and shows no roughness along the edges. It has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. The note is clean and has no stains. It retains all of its original stiffness, crispiness, and sheen. It shows no signs of circulation. The only thing we see are two small round marks in the right margin on the back of the note, which we believe are artifacts of the manufacturing and hence our use of apparent uncirculated instead of just uncirculated. Be that as it may, the note is problem free and looks great. A nice note, which would make a great addition to your collection. Please see scans for additional condition information.
