Archives International Auctions sold above note of Bank of Bengal for US$ 2700 on 4th June 2014 in an auction. They said that they never handled  these type of notes before! [Source 1]. However this issue was 6th type listed in major catalogues. It is a very rare note and highly collectibles in this form as well. AIA graded this note in the region of Choice Fine to VF. To have an example of this period is a very challenging preposition.
