Description
G. Wilson (1955-56), one pound, number over letter, 0/K 102520 (Robb.R.225; L.620; P.159b). Original note with good body, central fold, nearly very fine and very rare.
Less than 10 notes known to exist of this rare prefix variety. Alistair Robb states that the prefix was issued in error and that the correct prefix should have been K/0 (letter over number). He estimates that approximately 300,000 were printed around 1955. Robb also notes that the prefix run is 'the end of a sub type and as well as the mintage figure, it has created the rarest Reserve Bank note. In 1998 only 7 notes were known'.
