I will be sending this pair of banknote to PMG for grading, the condition are GEM UNC with sharp corners, paper crisps and without foxing.
This banknote was printed by Thomas De La Rue,UK in 1975 and with watermark of a lady however it was unissued. There are two types, the specimen notes with serial number of "A1 000000" and another type with serial numbers that are meant for circulation however it was not issued due to the communist victory on April 30th 1975.
However 2 months before the communist victory there are few of these notes (with full serial numbers) came out in circulation among the inter-bank transactions due to its high face value. Few of these banknotes still can be found in numismatics circles but the condition are circulated and possibly stolen ones when the banks were plundered during their transitions.
Instantly these notes became very popular globally among the collectors because of its history furthermore it has very striking color and animal theme. It is one of the most beautiful banknotes i've ever seen.
Happy Reading,
Andrew
