Israel - Lot of 3 Banknotes of 5 Pounds 1948 - Anglo Palestine - Consecutive serial numbers in UNC condition - Prefix A While from time to time Anglo-Palestine banknotes are offered in the market in consecutive numbers and there are quite a few that appear in the value of 1 lira, the rest, and especially the 5 lira, are very difficult to find, and in fact, we know of one sale that took place about a decade ago where there were 2 of these in a row and since then we have been able to find record of no sale in the world offering 2 such notes in consecutive numbers or more. Here you are offered 3 banknotes on denomination of 5 Anglo Palestine pounds in UNC conditions, extremely rare. The Anglo Palestine Banknote Series is the first official series of the State of Israel. The banknotes were issued by the Bank of Anglo-Palestine on paper stamped with colored dots as a means of preventing counterfeiting. Due to the short time left until the declaration of the state, the banknotes were printed on engravings with decorations that were generally prepared for printing Chinese banknotes. Since the banknotes were printed before the establishment of the state, the names of the state and its currency were not yet known, and therefore the name of the State of Israel does not appear on the banknotes at all. The English Pound was chosen as the currency type. Observe: security drawings; the words "Five Palestine Pounds" and "Anglo-Palestine Bank Ltd." In Hebrew and English. Reverse: security drawings; The words "Five Palestine Pounds" and "Bank of Anglo-Palestine Ltd." in Arabic and English. Watermark: None.
