Description
Five pounds, Cerutty/Collins (1918) U 937988 E (R.37b) mosaic of fives overprint on back almost missing result of ink fadeout. Top edge with centre nick from crease, otherwise a full note, fine and extremely rare as such an error note in a high denomination.
The mosaic of fives overprint was introduced as a deterent to forgers in 1914, so for this error note to occur was sacrilege.
