<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 25762152, member: 130786&quot;]A collector of <b>QEII</b> banknotes could spend a lifetime just focussing on the 3 incarnations of Rhodesia! First came <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/ZIM/ZIM-SRH.htm#1952-1954%20Elizabeth%20II%20Issue" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/ZIM/ZIM-SRH.htm#1952-1954%20Elizabeth%20II%20Issue" rel="nofollow">Southern Rhodesia</a> &amp; this colony transformed into <a href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/RNY/RNY.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AFR/RNY/RNY.htm" rel="nofollow">Rhodesia &amp; Nyasaland</a> which later became (simply) <b>Rhodesia</b>. The first incarnation only lasted 3 years while the 2nd entity was 6 years! This makes the first two versions the most difficult notes to obtain. </p><p><br /></p><p>The most recent Rhodesian issue (that we&#039;re all familiar with) didn&#039;t exist much longer before it also dropped the queen&#039;s portrait (in 1970). Acquiring decent, original <b>EF</b> (&amp; up) examples can be challenging for all denominations &amp; some issued varieties are more elusive than others.&nbsp; The last <b>QEII</b> series <b>P-27</b> to <b>P-29</b>, which was designed/printed in Rhodesia, seems to be the most accessible.&nbsp;&nbsp; They have a dark shadow behind the queen&#039;s portrait that the 1964 Bradbury Wilkinson versions lack.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>P-27a</b> Ten Shillings:[ATTACH=full]1645093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1645094[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to get more of these (the 1 &amp; 5 Pound would be nice) &amp; from the first 2 colonies, but they&#039;re all very pricey the farther back one reaches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
