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.

What is the SRI LANKA 50 Rupees 1988 banknote?
It is a 50 Rupees banknote from SRI LANKA, dated 1988 and catalogued as Pick 98.
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?

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.
