Platt, imprint on centre of bottom, 'Bradbury Wilkinson & Co, Engravers &c London' (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.
This issue of the Commercial Bank of Sydney (1834-1982, merging to form the NAB in 1982), is much rarer than the five pound note issue as they all come from the 1971 'New England Hoard'.
