Prisoner of War Issue, 5-Livres, Leith, 3 Jan 1812, serial no. 1812, hand written on cream paper, 'BANK FIVE 5 LIVRES LIVRES' in black overprint, entered W J Shortridge & Co, this is presumably a private store note issued for use by prisoners of war captured during the Napoleonic Wars, good fine, a fascinating and excessively rare example of early Scottish/French/POW money
