Notes : Following the detection of forged 10 shilling notes issued in 1913 and 1914, the design was changed in 1915 to incorporate a HALF SOVEREIGN overprint in red around the borders of the obverse and a difficult to reproduce pattern of the words of the gold equivalent denomination - HALF SOVEREIGN - on the reverse.


Valuation : r2a – Mc4 # Collins/Allen Ten Shilling Banknotes
These notes only appear very rarely, so any valuations are largely hypothetical.
