For decades I have been trying to buy a Sri Lanka P-98a 1988-11-21 50 Rupee Banknote but I have not been able to find one at all.

I cannot even find a picture of the note with this date in any of the Catalogs or the Internet.

It is listed in the Pick Catalog but it is not listed on this website lakdiva.org. The first date for these series starts at 98b.

Can anyone confirm if it exists or not? Is it listed in the Banknote Book? If it does not exist I will give up looking for it!

Thanks IndianGoldEagle. Yes I saw it listed on banknote.ws but unfortunately there is no picture. I think this is an error in the Pick catalog. I am still looking for conformation.

ShareBear, looks like the only notes that are available right now are the 1989. It's possible the 1988 were printed and not released.

Thank you currencyden. I am going to mark if off on my list as does not exist and is an error in the Pick Catalog.

On a side note I noticed that the Banknote Book states that the water mark is a Lion holding a whip. It is actually a kastane sword. The Lion from national Flag standing facing left with sword in right paw
