Iconic High Denomination Rarity

Australia Commonwealth of Australia 50 Pounds ND (1918) Pick 8d PMG Very Fine 30.
Over the course of nearly 40 years, this high denomination note was slowly issued to meet the limited demand for notes of this caliber. Between 1914 and 1950, only 608,000 notes were printed, and all were redeemed except for 1,343, according to bank records. This handsome example is of the final variety, issued in 1940. It features large serif serial numbers and the prefix Y. Mild circulation and a few rust specks were present. The spending power of this note forced most to be used and then redeemed, leaving only a scant few extant. Beautifully engraved, and desirable for its denomination, size, and famed rarity.


經典雋永的高面額珍鈔

1918年澳洲聯邦銀行50鎊。PMG Very Fine 30。
此鈔發行近四十年,但由於面額巨大而需求較小,故發行量一直不多。根據銀行記錄,在1914至1950年間,此鈔僅印製了608,000張,而當中大部分都被注銷,只有1,343張流傳至今。這枚悅目得體的例子於1940年發行,屬於最晚的品種,並印有粗襯線字體的序號及Y字軌。票面上帶有若干流通痕跡及些微鏽痕。由於此鈔購買力巨大,故大多都被用於消費並被注銷,只有極少數例子被保存下來。此鈔雕工細膩精巧,其高面額和尺寸相當吸引,是享負盛名的珍品。
