Date: Decree of 10 February 1914.
Printer: Unknown.
Size: The banknote measures ~7 1/4" by ~3".
Pick Number: S538b.
Condition: I would grade this banknote as nice very fine or better with all the details being well preserved. The note has three vertical folds/creases and light general wrinkling. It is lightly soiled but has no stains, no pinholes, and no graffiti. The edges of the note show minor wear and roughness. The corners are intact with some bumps and light rounding. The note exhibits some stiffness and has no tears, or splits. It does have some concentrated soiling on the back along the vertical creases. Additionally, the note's back is very light to the point where the image on the back is not identifiable. This is most likely is an artifact of the printing and is original to the making of the note. Be that as it may, this note is worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see scans for additional condition information.
