| A scan of an important new find |
| Today I received a scan of an important new find in the New Zealand banknote hobby. A friend has located and acquired another 0C prefixed Wilks star replacement note. Which means there are now TWO notes known. This one numbered 0C 005070* is only 59 serial numbers higher than the other known note 0C 005011*. Click on the serial number to see image. 0C 005011* is linked on Decimal Note Images page. |
