Notes :
This note, designed and printed by Thomas S. Harrison, is longer and narrower than earlier issues. It was
introduced to improve production efficiency by allowing 6 notes instead of 4 to be printed on each sheet.
The reverse design of wheat carting at Narwonah was retained.
Valuation : r54 – Mc77b # Kell/Collins Ten Pound Banknotes
These notes only appear very rarely, so any valuations are largely hypothetical.
Lot 1283 at the Roxburys Auction House Sale 72 held on 4th October, 2008
was a R54 banknote - graded aUNC - which realised a price of $64,625.
