Ken’s intentions were to sell five block of twelve. Stuart however persuaded Ken to sell him a block of 36 intact. Subsequently over the years Stuart sold three blocks of 4, allowing collectors the opportunity to own a rare multiple of the £2. The remaining two blocks of 12 were sold to Abramovich and to an unknown English collector. It is believed that these have since been broken up. RPSV certificate 2013.
