Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice very good or better with all the details being still preserved. The note was obviously pressed. It is a well used note but still intact. Corners have wear and rounding, the edges have nicks and short tears, which do not extend into the design. The note shows some discoloration but no major objectionable staining. The note has pinholes mostly in the center from excessive folding and along the fold lines. The note is limp but has no missing pieces. The note has several folds and general wrinkling, it is soiled with a few minor stains but has no objectionable stains. The note has no graffiti, no tears and no splits. Other than that the note has general wear and roughness to the edges. The corners are intact with some rounding and bumping but no losses. This is a relatively nice example of this rather scarce note, which would make a nice addition to your collection. Please view the scan presented for additional condition information.
