The Reserve Bank of New Zealand opened in August 1934, and this 50 Pounds note belongs to the very first series it ever issued — a remarkably high denomination for a country whose agricultural workforce rarely handled anything above a pound or two in weekly wages. De La Rue produced the whole inaugural series under tight schedule, the bank having been established by act of Parliament only in 1933.
High-denomination notes from this series are genuinely rare in any condition. Most saw interbank and government settlement use rather than retail circulation, and attrition through the 1967 decimal conversion was severe.
