BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES, one pound forgery, issued at Sydney, 1st October, 1897, No. A 97592, hand signed by uncertain manager and accountant, printed on unwatermarked paper, with imprint in centre of bottom, 'Charles Skipper & East, London', with vignettes of female seated with produce and in top corners oval framed tablet with ONE, all within rectangular ornate spiral border with words BANK OF NEW SOUTH WALES in frame at top and bottom, back with large ONE within rectangular frame surrounded by a ornate circles in each corner, dark brown on white/red on white, (Vort-Ronald, p.67-85 on bank, Type Seven (f) and a similar note illustrated as Fig.87). In black pen across note 'Forgery', many folds and creases, otherwise very good and rare.

A 'photographic' forgery of a Bank of New South Wales one pound note. Probably a bank teller wrote 'Forgery' in across the note, as the style is very good with the usual rough edges and approximately right colour could allow it to pass for a long period as a genuine note of issue.
