Unusually crisp condition with parts of its original surface sheen intact. It seemed to have been mounted at the top and when removed, little holes were torn (top left centre and top right centre). Since the note was in such a great overall state, we felt it was worth the while 'retouching' those outline gaps with pieces of paper and water soluble glue, until better restoration might one day be applied.

Overall, a terrific looking note with vibrant colours and no distracting bleached lines cutting through from former bends. Some light staining and rust spots around the medallion (along with little piercings from them) don't distract the even overall appearance.
