Notes: The Commonwealth Bank's Notes Board decided to introduce a new design for the One Thousand Pound note in 1922. A specimen for the note was made in England in 1923. In 1928, the board decided not to proceed with the new note. The specimen remained unknown until it surfaced and was sold for the record price of $250,000 in 1994.
