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.
Lot 138 at the International Auction Galleries Auction 72 held on 5th September, 2010
was a r2a banknote - graded FINE - which realised a price of $16,310
