This example carries the R33 prefix and is graded Fine, showing clear signs of circulation, including multiple folds and general handling wear consistent with regular use. Some softening of the paper is expected at this grade; however, the note remains intact, with all major design features, serial numbers, and signatures still easily identifiable.

A solid entry-level example for collectors looking to add an authentic pre-decimal banknote to their collection.
