Investment advantages
The limited number of banknotes issued (50,000) makes it attractive to investors looking for unique and valuable items for their investment portfolios. Over the years, with the growing interest in numismatics and limited availability, the value of this banknote has the potential to increase.
Condition and availability
The banknotes are available in mint condition, which means that they have not been in circulation and have retained their original quality.
Investing in this banknote is not only a way to enrich your numismatic collection, but also an opportunity to invest capital in a unique and historical artifact. However, it is recommended to regularly monitor the numismatic market and consult with experts before making any investment decisions.
