Obverse head of General Aung San in center. Rev. fisherman in boat with rigged net in center, arms to left. This would be a crisp uncirculated note in choice condition but for a pair of staple holes left side in margin. As is, this note has wonderful color, no folds or wrinkles and tons of eye appeal.
