Kentfield £5 Sheetlets

The last of the web fed issue. In original Bank of England presentation wallet. Only 1500 issued.

In 1993 the Bank of England celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the issue of the first £5 note. At the same time, the Bank of England was changing over from printing their notes from a web fed roll to smaller individual sheets. 25 years ago the Bank issued 1500 uncut sheets of 3 of each type of the £5 note. We are offering Uncut sheets of the £5 note printed by the Sheet Fed Process. (C108) The sheetfed notes have the first of the new prefix. In fact, we have seen the AC01 Prefix sell for £110 on its own. Another dealer is selling this Uncut Sheet of 3 for £200 – our price is just £95. Remember only 1500 sheets were ever issued!

In 1993,the Bank of England issued uncut sheetlets of 3 £5 notes to commemorate 200 years since the introduction of the £5 note as a denomination in 1793. The bank housed these sheetlets in smart illustrated folders and only 1500 of each type were issued (C107& C108). We offer both types of sheetlets- the last printed on giant web presses with the prefixes AB16 17 & 18 with matching numbers and the first printed on sheet fed presses with the prefixes AC01 02 and 03. We offer these sheetlets at £110 each or if you buy the pair for just £175.00 Saving £45!
