(Click to enlarge)

Blue note with busts of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth to right. Back of note depicts a man seated to right. Corners intact but dog-eared a bit. Two small holes in center from wear, and there is normal soiling and heavy folding for grade. Detail, however, is all apparent and the note is an adequate example for a nice filler. (Scanned image depicts note well.)
