WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORDAs the end of 2015 draws ever closer, the Spink Banknote department can reflect on an extremely busy butsuccessful year. With a total of almost 7000 lots catalogued and auctioned, and some truly amazing record pricesachieved, I think it’s fair to say we have earned some rest over the holidays. Before that though, we bring your ourusual December offering, complete with an unusual number of charity bears. As many of you will have heard, Spinkare auctioning a very limited print run of Bank of Scotland £5 notes, featuring Pudsey Bear himself. With only 50produced and 36 auctioned here, proceeds from the sale of this handmade polymer issue are being donated to BBCChildren in Need. Please see lots 637-671 and the article in the Spink Insider for more details.

Probably our collective favourite item in the sale has to be the one pictured below, lot 253. With its vibrant coloursand evocative imagery, this beautiful Iraq essay has been entirely hand painted and composed, and is framed to ahigh standard.

Also of interest is a wide range of die proofs from around the world, including an exceptionally rare George VIMalaya 50 rupee group (lot 56). Die proofs are steadily increasing in popularity year on year, so we expect these toattract a lot of interest.

Finally, a small but really exceptional group of treasury notes kicks off our British notes section. These are the finestexamples of these types that we have seen in many years, and they deserve to attract a lot of attention.

To all of our friends the world over, we wish you an enjoyable holiday season, and we hope to see you at the sale,or in the New Year.

Andrew, Barnaby, Monica and Thomasina

WORLD BANKNOTES

Spink is honoured and delighted to be chosen by Bank of Scotland to auction this very speciallimited edition polymer £5 banknote. There are several reasons why this issue is particularlyspecial. First and foremost, the edition has been specially designed for the charity BBC Childrenin Need. The design itself was chosen from around 4000 entries to a children’s competitionheld by the Bank. Only 50 of these notes will be produced, 36 of which will be auctioned bySpink. Of these, 25 notes will bear the serial numbers PUDSEY01 to PUDSEY25. The next fivenotes in the sequence will be matched with a general issue polymer £5 (which will be released in2016). There will also be PUDSEY88, and XX888888, where the XX can be chosen by thesuccessful bidder. The remaining four notes will have eight character alphanumerical serialnumbers chosen by the successful bidder (subject to the Bank’s approval). This is the firstpolymer note to be issued by the Bank and this limited edition was hand produced. Each of thelots will come with a presentation pack including a certificate of authenticity from the Bank.

The banknote was designed by Kayla Robson, a 13 year old school pupil from Dundee whowon a competition which challenged children to design part of the note with the theme ‘What does BBC Children in Need mean to you?’ and will be the first time a children’s designhas been included on a British banknote.

The charity’s iconic mascot, Pudsey Bear makes a special guest appearance on the note withKayla’s design depicting him raising a Saltire. Kayla’s winning design is combined with existing£5 banknote images including a portrait of Sir Walter Scott. Bank of Scotland’s head office, The Mound also features on the note and cleverly utilises the transparency of polymer in thebuilding windows.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
