Note: These notes were known to exist only as Specimen Proofs on the card. A handful of issued notes have recently turned up. It is one of the most handsome banknotes of an odd denomination surviving almost in its original condition as issued in its attractive gorgeousness. This banknote is an uncut type having the clear seal &lsquo;Paid 8 December 1870&rsquo; on it that denotes it was encashed almost after 27 years. It is one of the hand-picked types that we have ever offered. An incredibly rare offering of paramount rarity from the British India presidency series.
