This is an honest example of one of the very first notes printed in the second series released into circulation from October 1988.
There are no less than 11 different varieties of the Australian 1988 $10 polymer note.
This particular note is one of the very first printed from the second issue or second series of notes that were released into circulation from October 1988.
The Bicentennial $10 note was only released into circulation again after the printing process had been completely overhauled, on October 24th, 1988.
The prime difference between notes from the second production run and those released from January 26th is in the varnish applied to the notes after they had been printed.
Notes from the AB First Series have a thin and smooth varnish, whereas notes from the, Second Series have a thick and mottled varnish.
Notes with either 93, 94 or 96 as their 3rd and 4th digits in their serial numbers were excluded from the second production run.
Collectors see value in obtaining one of the very first examples released of this variety. This particular note remains in superb, original condition.
