c. 1933 Unissued One Pound Edward VIII gEF
Tax included.
Only two examples of this banknote are known to exist in private hands. You can view another at the Reserve Bank of Australia's museum on Martin Place.
These notes were never completed due to the abdication of Edward VIII.
The appeal in a note such as this is both the rarity and how incredibly unusual it is to encounter an incomplete banknote from the pre-decimal period in Australia.
This note has been the centrepiece of my personal collection for quite some time.
