XSU is the final prefix of the 1976 Knight/Wheeler centre-thread $20 issue and is collected separately from the standard-prefix issue.
Individual high-grade XSU examples are already sought after by Australian decimal banknote collectors.
This offering is considerably more unusual because all five XSU final-prefix notes have survived together with uninterrupted consecutive serial numbers.
Rather than five unrelated examples assembled individually, this is an intact sequence:
538242 / 538243 / 538244 / 538245 / 538246
Once such a consecutive group is separated, the original sequence cannot be recreated.
Recent market results demonstrate substantial collector demand for individual high-grade XSU final-prefix notes. This complete five-note consecutive run is therefore being offered at a premium reflecting the difficulty of locating an equivalent intact group.
We have been unable to locate another directly comparable five-note consecutive XSU group currently offered or a recent documented sale of an equivalent five-note sequence.

The asking price reflects the rarity of the complete consecutive final-prefix group rather than simply multiplying the value of five individual notes.
The notes present exceptionally well, with strong colour, clean appearance and sharp presentation. They are not third-party graded, so buyers should examine the detailed photographs and determine grade according to their own standards.
The exact five notes photographed are the notes the successful purchaser will receive.
A particularly difficult opportunity for the serious Australian decimal banknote, last-prefix or Renniks collector.
