Historical Notation: The Kell/Collins Five Pound banknotes were firstly issued in Black signatures with serial prefixes of Q/1-Q5.
It was decided by The Commonwealth Bank in Spring 1926 to change the colour font of the R38 to Dark Blue.
Dark Blue was then used on all Five Pound banknotes up until the final series of Riddle/Sheehan in 1932.
Dark Blue signatures in any grade are high sough after, TRN offer this lovely banknote for sale.
Of course with such a rarity, the purchaser has a 30 day cooling off period.
Best described as extremely rare, a banknote worthy for inclusion in any Collector Portfolio.
