Platt, printed on uncertain watermarked paper (?), with imprint on centre of bottom, 'Bradbury Wilkinson & Co, Engravers &c London', with vignettes of bank building and Sydney Harbour scene, in tablet 1 in all corners and in lower tablet Ã…â€Å‣ ONE, all within rectangular ornate border, in ink on back John & Martin, black on white, (Vort-Ronald p.142-152 on bank, similar note illustrated as Fig.154, p.147). Folds and holes on creases, with some aging edge tone, otherwise very good and very rare.
