Unknown in UNC, this banknote is very rare in AU. Over 30 years and among more than 600 notes presented in CGB's catalogs, only two examples of this note (from the same alphabet X.2386 No.425 and 429) are known in AU with three pin holes. Pressed or altered notes are frequent. Do not overpay for a note whose condition is dubious, despite a nice appearance
