An Exceptional Opportunity in Australia’s Rarest Twenty Dollar Note Phillips Wheeler Type 2 Specimen
The first thing that sprang to mind when this extremely rare Twenty Dollar Type 2 Specimen note became available, was just how seldom they are seen in these times. Type 2 boasts the rarest in the paper decimal Specimen note series and although accurate numbers have never been fully determined, their irregular market appearances suggests very small numbers of less than 10 in each denomination. Therefore we can only add that the rarity of the Type 2 Specimens can only be matched by their past performance, achieving in excess of 17%pa over the past 10 years.
