Comments

Główna różnica między P#49a i P#49b polega na tym, że 49a jest datowana w prawym górnym rogu na awersie, a 49b nie. Również na rewersie 49a numer seryjny zaczyna się od AA, podczas gdy na 49b numer seryjny zaczyna się od AB.

Pamiątkowy banknot o nominale 10 dolarów wyemitowany z okazji dwusetnej rocznicy osadnictwa europejskiego w 1988 roku.
Pierwszy australijski banknot polimerowy. Banknot ten posiadał wizerunek kapitana Cooka wykonany w technologii OVD (Optically Variable Device).
Pierwszy druk tego banknotu jest oznaczony numerami 93, 94 lub 96 na 3. i 4. miejscu numeru seryjnego od lewej strony.
Banknoty kolekcjonerskie wydane w folderach przez NPA zaczynały się od AA w numerze seryjnym i miały nadrukowaną na niebiesko datę 26 STYCZNIA 1988 r.

Teczki były koloru szarego i zawierały dwa banknoty kolejno ponumerowane obok siebie.
Bicentenary Coin & Note Collection zawierała monety próbne o nominałach 2, 5 i 10 dolarów oraz ich odpowiedniki w postaci banknotów. Banknot o nominale 5 dolarów pełnił rolę numeru seryjnego zestawu.

Uwaga: Podałem oddzielne linie dla tych pakietów, ponieważ w przeciwnym razie wypaczałyby one wartości. Mniej liczne zestawy stanowiły wielokrotność niebieskich folderów kolekcjonerskich. Na przykład, teczki personelu są znane z tego, że są sprzedawane za ponad tysiąc dolarów.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The main difference between P#49a and P#49b is the 49a is dated in the top right on obverse and the 49b is not. But also on the reverse, 49a the serial number starts with AA, where on 49b the serial starts with AB.

Commemorative $10 Note issued for the Bicentenary of European Settlement in 1988.
Australia's first polymer banknote. This note had an OVD (Optically Variable Device) image of Captain Cook.
The first printing of this note is identified by the numbers 93, 94 or 96 in the 3rd and 4th place of the serial number from the left.
Collector notes issued in folders by the NPA began with AA in the serial number and were overprinted with the date in blue 26 JANUARY 1988

Staff folders were in a greyish colour and had two notes consecutively numbered side by side.
The Bicentenary Coin & Note Collection contained proof coins $2, 5 and a silver $10 and then their banknote equivalents. The $5 dollar note acted as the serial number for the set.

NB: I have given separate lines for these packages as they would have skewed values otherwise. The less numerous sets commanding multiples of the Blue Collector folders. For example, the staff folders have been known to fetch over a thousand dollars.
