Description
Reserve Bank of New Zealand, R.N.Fleming (1956-67), fifty pounds, letter, R 106908 (Robb R.274; L.634; P.162c). Very fine and very rare, being from the circulating series of numbers.
According to Scott de Young, this example is one of only 13 issued notes known in the circulating numbers range up to 199000. One of the 13 recorded examples is in the Reserve Bank's own collection, leaving only 12 in private hands. This note is the second lowest recorded number. Later issued notes with serial numbers from 199001 to 200000 are remainders, sold off over the years by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
