This magnificent note was printed for a major commercial force in Colonial WA.
The first example of this note was not sighted on the open auction market until April 1997. In the years that followed, one note sold for as much as $9,900, and not for any less than $3,300.
A small number were discovered early in 2014, which means collectors are now able to obtain them at a fraction of the price they have sold for previously.
They are a direct link to a man that can be regarded as being an energetic and dynamic entrepreneur from the Swan River Colony, they remain an attractive reminder of the aspirations that many of our first colonists had for financial success.
