Currency Commission, Provincial Bank, £10, 6 May 1929, serial number 01PT 000001, Brennan and Hume Robertson signatures, some damage along upper edge and corners, pencil graffiti on reverse, but an entirely original about fine, and an exceptional number 1 note

Currently, it is known that four other serial number 1 Ploughman notes have also survived. These are held either in Bank archives or in the National Museum. To the best of our knowledge, this Provincial Bank serial number 1 is the only number 1 note of the first date of issue for the Ploughman series to be in private hands.
