This is a genuine cheque from a bank which no longer exists. At over 100 years old it is a lovely piece of Australian history and is in very nice condition for its age. The cheque is for the sum of 10 Pounds Sterling. It has the usual tellers spike holes. Together with the 1906 cheque on offer here it makes a fabulous collectible from 2 consecutive years. All the more rare. Very collectible and a charming piece of the old West.
