Today’s note is a 1943 issue 1 Pound note. This note is the predecessor of the South African Rand. What is ‘rather special’ about this note is that it is an eBay treasure- I bought it on eBay for $26.00 with $4 shipping from South Africa and the note in the Fine condition with the Postmus signature makes it worth $75+. So it is a rare fine on eBay (a note valued more than it’s sold for). It pays to browse regularly.
