[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 8441960, member: 15588"]The same note with similar, but not identical, overprinting is currently on ebay for $25.00 -> [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/115130451428[/URL] I'm not sure how seriously to take the rarity claimed by the auction, or the claim that it's "one of a kind," but it sounds like some notes received these overlays at the time for various celebratory reasons. It's a pretty nice addition to the note, in any case. If I had one I would keep it, but I really don't know if it adds any extra value or if it's a manufactured alteration. I do read some Arabic, but that particular script is too stylized for me to make out. I don't think it's an error. It looks very intentional and decorative.[/QUOTE]
