1953 One Pound Star Note Coombs/Wilson R33S good VF
1953 One Pound Star Note Coombs/Wilson R33S good VF. Crisp and original paper, a strong example. Note printing authorities in Australia decided to adopt the US system of using star replacement notes as substitutes for spoiled notes from September 1948. A memo to Commonwealth Bank staff advised them that. Notes used for replacement purposes will have a five-pointed star in the position normally occupied by the last figure of the serial number.
The star replacement system made it easier for printing staff and tellers to check and count notes and brought about a considerable saving in time and labour costs. The Reserve Bank of Australia was brought into being in 1960, so any Queen Elizabeth II star replacement notes issued with the Commonwealth Bank designation were printed and issued between 1953 and 1960. The exact mintage figure of this note is not known, however research by Mick Vort Ronald indicates that it is in the region of 9 million notes. Yes that number does start with a B!
This note retains fantastic paper quality - it remains crisp and is very strong. The simultan and intaglio colours remain bold, bright and original. It is a strong example of this scarce pre-decimal star note. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris tempor sit amet arcu eu aliquet.
