This New Zealand 10 Shillings note from 1956 (P-158) captures mid-20th century Commonwealth currency design during the pre-decimal era. The circulated condition reflects authentic handling across nearly seven decades, making it a genuine historical artifact rather than a pristine specimen. Cataloged under the P-158 reference standard, this denomination predates New Zealand's 1967 conversion to decimal currency, adding numismatic significance. Essential for collectors focusing on British Commonwealth banknotes or those documenting the transition from imperial to metric monetary systems. A window into post-war New Zealand's economic landscape.
