Note: These notes were known to exist only as Specimen Proofs on the card. A handful of issued notes have recently turned up. This banknote was cut into two halves and later joined, this was the common practice of banking during those days to pay the owner of this note in silver or gold coins by producing both halves at the bank. It has survived almost in its entirety and showcases its strong quality until today. A tremendously rare type that we have ever offered.
