Old Irish One Punt note in Excellent condition.
The note is crisp. No crease or fold marks of any kind. No tears!
There are two very minor (Tea) stains to the far left and bottom left side of the note. The note has been in a scrapbook for the past 25 years and was stuck to the page with 4 very small amounts of bluetac on the rear corners of the note. This can be easily removed with a careful hand and leaves little or no mark when removed. (please see both pictures to examine stains and please do not bid until both pictures have been carefully examined)
Any questions please feel free to ask.
