The Devil Head is at the back of the Queen. Should be able to see a face, horns etc. in the white parts. Certainly looks like it to me.

were these errors on all of the notes of that year 1-100 or however high They made them, I know of the 1, 2 and I didn't know of the $5.00 till I saw it. The dealer is a little pricey But His attributes are usualy right on

It's a bit hard to tell from the picture. It seems to have a couple of folds so I would say EF, making the value $100.00.The devil's face portrait was on all the denominations $1.00 to $1000.00

For those of you who still can't see a "devil's face" anywhere on scoutjim's note, here's the face highlighted inside the red box...

There was an article awhile back in our Australian coin mag.
Will try and locate it and see if there is any other info on it.
Could take a bit to locate.

Appologies for the delay, however I have been unable to locate the article again. I am missing a couple of magazines which I shouldn't be and it may be in the those.

Wow, I checked through my Canadian notes and I also seem to have one of those, probably AU. Glad you posted this thread or I would have never known about it.
