The Series D £5 is a much-loved piece of British banknote history. These large-format blue £5 notes were familiar sights in Britain before being replaced by the smaller Series E £5.
The SE prefix is of particular interest to collectors, with SE66 being a late-series prefix. Combined with the exceptionally crisp condition, this makes a very attractive example for a collection.
The note retains its fresh paper, sharp printing and excellent overall appearance, with the corners and edges presenting extremely well.
The serial number SE66 874070 is clearly visible on the note.
UNC / Uncirculated – Crisp Example
The note has an exceptionally fresh appearance for its age and would make a lovely addition to a quality British banknote collection.
