A rare banknote discovered by an Oxfam volunteer has sold for £140,000.
Paul Wyman was working in the Brentwood branch in Essex, when he spotted an unusual note in a box of donated items. The £100 Palestine pounds is one of less than ten known to exist and was issued to high ranking officials during the time of the British Mandate in Palestine in 1927.
The charity shop worker decided not to put it on the shelves and contacted an auction house where experts valued it at £30,000. However, he was stunned when it sold for a staggering £140,000 at Spink auction house in London.
