Are You A Queen Elizabeth II Banknote Collector? Share Which Are Tough, What Ones You Need, Etc.

A job well done.

Very nice examples! Thank you for sharing!

I felt annoyed that I left out a note at the very beginning, I had intentions of adding, but missed for no other reason than I was in a rush to get this QEII thread started.

AUSTRALIA PRE-DECIMAL
The first time we see QEII on Australian banknotes is in 1953 on the Australian Pound. The image is her profile, which appears almost like a statue which seem to add many years to her appearance. To get a better idea of Australia's early pre-decimal currency see this bank note museum link:

P-30 ONE Pound:
I have seen these green/black £1 notes up for auction but for the most part they're common prefixes & they're often P-34 (the "Reserve Bank" later dates). The 2 versions look nearly identical & are easy to confuse. The best way to distinguish the early "Commonwealth Bank of Australia (P-30)" from the more recent "Reserve Bank of Australia (P-34)" is to check whether the text is above (P-30) or below (P-34) the 'Coombs-Wilson' signatures. This £1 note also has * replacements at the end of HA90, HA91, HE91 prefixes. Premiums are placed on the first (HA00) and last (HF65) prefixes too.

P-34 ONE Pound:

This note is not that difficult to acquire this "Reserve Bank" £1 in high grades. The price tag is more related to the popularity & the prefixes of each note. Just like its predecessor, P-34 too had replacement prefixes (HE90 to HE99) & has a keen following for the first (HF65) & last (HK65) prefixes. Some replacements are more scarce than others.

If you wish to pick up one of the early pre-decimal QEII notes (or other denominations) than I highly recommend you check out "Coins and Australia" website which gives an excellent break down of the signatures, tough prefixes & various replacements to look (plus their approximate BV):

Thanks to all those who have provided feedback & checked out this thread! Feel free to add your examples too!

Oh my. I should just keep my mouth shut. Just bought this one to celebrate 100 posts on this forum
