Collector value and condition
No reliable single market figure is currently recorded. Value depends on the exact variety, grade, availability, seller location and collector demand.
Folds, stains, tears, pinholes, writing, pressing, trimming and repairs can reduce value. Conversely, scarce varieties, replacement notes, unusual serial numbers and recognised certification may command a premium.
Frequently asked questions
What is the SRI LANKA 50 Rupees 1972 banknote?
It is a 50 Rupees banknote from SRI LANKA, dated 1972 and catalogued as Pick 79A.
Is this banknote rare?
Rarity depends on the exact variety, surviving supply, signatures, prefixes, condition and collector demand. The denomination alone is not enough to establish rarity.
How can collectors identify the correct variety?
Compare the date, catalogue number, printed designs on both sides, signatures, prefixes, watermark and security features. Small changes can indicate a separate variety.

Inspect both sides under good light for folds, stains, tears, pinholes, writing, pressing, trimmed edges and repairs. An uncirculated note should retain original paper quality and show no circulation wear.
