This interesting Gill 1988 £20 error banknote, which was missing the St. George and Dragon images and it’s under print on the front of the note and missing the Romeo and Juliet image and it’s under print on the back of the note, realised £204.
In the world banknotes section highlights included this Hong Kong Mercantile Bank Ltd 1973 100 dollars which sold for £192.
And this Scottish Commercial Bank of Scotland 1911 £5 achieved £264.
