wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 11/05/2016 12:24 am I don't think this note is fake but I don't understand why there is no watermark on this note. For the same series of 50p, I can find a clear-cut "three legs" watermark on the note. Who can help to explain why? Can anyone also tell the year of print of this note? Thank you in advance.

The material was called Bradvek in the UK. There is no watermark. The note is, if the plastic one, Pick No. 38, and worth a bunch more than the paper note in UNC. Mine came to me for the price of the paper note. Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelodeon Valued Member Canada 97 Posts	Posted 11/05/2016 09:06 am Nice note and very interesting read. I think paxbrit is correct in saying the note is P38. Here is a bit more info. Hope this helps. http://www.polymernotes.com/isleofman.html The Isle of Man is the only issuer of a bradvek note, a One Pound which circulated from 1983 to 1988.

paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 11/05/2016 12:27 pm It's a woven plastic, has all the feel of a paper note. A bit sturdier. The tell is the lack of a watermark. Report this Post to the Staff
