Condition assessment
Based on the photographs, I would provisionally describe this example as Very Good (VG).
The note displays substantial horizontal and vertical folding, creasing, paper discoloration, edge wear, and considerable fading on the reverse. The principal inscriptions, charter number, serial number, and bank identification remain legible.
 
The visible wear is significant enough that I would avoid advertising this example as Fine or Very Fine without professional grading.
