Bank Scotland £20 March 1999 P121c Unc

Bank of England, G.M. Gill Chief Cashier (1988-1991), £10 'Florence Nightingale' (B354) Crisp Uncirculated.

When the Bank of England discontinued the paper 10 shilling note on decimalisation, it replaced it with a 50 pence coin. In the Isle of Man, instead of ditching the 10 shilling note for a coin it replaced it with a new note with the denomination of 50 New Pence. (P33) These Isle of Man 50 pence coins are amongst the last to be issued Signed by Dawson as Treasurer. They are in Crisp Uncirculated.

Issued in the Isle of Man’s Millennium year, 1979, the 50p and £1 notes in this pair are signed by Dawson with the special new title ‘Treasurer of the Isle of Man’. Queen Elizabeth II is on both notes. She oversaw the 1000th opening of their open-air parliament in that year. The back of the 50 pence note shows a Viking boat, whereas the £1 shows Tynwald Hill, the ancient seat of Manx Parliament (P34). Available individually or as a pair, both in Uncirculated condition.
