Comments

There are 3 specific types of 5 shilling dated 01/06/1939 only 2 are described in Pick the third is a version of P28a that has only the month in Italic font whereas the others have the entire date in Italics. This is a far more rarer variety. The note listed on this page is the latter variety. |
