The Linen Bank Fourth Waterlow Bank's Arms 5 s Pick 161b (BY SC214c; PMS BL67e) very LAST date & prefix issue of this type before the re-designed size reductions and bearing signature of A. P. Anderson dated 4th August 19559 serial number Y/11 011655, a pleasing high grade about UNC and Exceptionally Rare example, or 'Scottish UNC' as some would say due to the engrained habit of Scottish bank tellers of folding the large sized notes in order to fit them in their tills.
