Uncirculated.

The issue although without name of city of issue was probably produced for New Zealand about 1914 but could easily be a specimen for this bank for issue in Australia at a slightly earlier date. MVR notes p.84 that after 1910 notes of this era were continued to be issued in New Zealand and ceased in 1934.
