Union Bank Rarity
An Imposing Pre Federation Masterpiece
This Hobart-issued Union Bank of Australia note promises to be a spectacular acquisition in even the most prestigious numismatic portfolio. The magnificent 1864-issued ÂŁ1 note has, up until now, been unknown in numismatic circles, having been in the possession of a descendant of a family of early Victorian settlers since colonial times. Considering the state of preservation for an issued note from the mid 19th century, together with its historical Hobart origins, this Union Bank ÂŁ1 note offers a combination of rare features seldom found in one outstanding investment piece. Today, this extremely rare piece is ready to make a grand entrance onto the market.
