!!! RARE RISSIK REPLACEMENT R5 No: X / 1 and F/30 L@@K !!!!!!

!!!!!!  RARE   RARE   RARE   TO FIND THESE TWO SA BANKNOTES FOR SALE IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION.

SEE SCAN OF THE TWO SECOND RISSIK ISSUE (1966). THE FIRST IS THE VERY VERY FIRST REPLACEMENT MADE IN THIS SERIES, WITH SERIAL NUMBER  X/1 AND THE SECOND IS THE CORRESPONDING R 5 NOTE OF THE FIRST GROUP SERIAL NUMBER F/30.

THE CONDITION OF THE REPLACEMENT NOTE IS LOVELY AND CRISP, BUT DOES HAVE SOME GRUBBY MARKS, A FEW LIGHT PAPER BENDS THAT ARE JUST VISIBLE IF YOU LOOK VERY CAREFULLY (MOSTLY FROM THE TOP LEFT WHERE THE DIRTY MARK IS DOWN TOWARDS THE DIRTY LINE ALONG THE LOWER MARGIN) AND ONE TINY PIN HOLE VISIBLE IF YOU REALLY LOOK HARD IN THE DARK SPOT ON HIS CHIN.(DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE NOTE AT ALL) THE OTHER NOTE IS IN BETTER CONDITION ALSO CRISP AND ALMOST FLAWLESS. I CANNOT SEE ANY REAL BENDS OR FOLDS, NO TEARS OR PIN MARKS.
