Beautiful note! 

The Lady Lavery notes always seemed over priced and over hyped to me. An interesting story but not a design I would consider overly attractive as a whole. The Durango note blows it away actually.

I agree, I much prefer the earlier ABNC notes as they couple more ornate designs with interesting vignettes. Plus they tend to be different for each denomination and am still amazed at the skills needed to produce them. For info - the farming scene on the 10 pesos note is not mechanised though, a bit like the Irish Ploughman notes (which command very high prices  )

Having said that, I like concept of the River Gods and thought I would try and get the set at some point if I ever managed to fish all the rivers - would only be 2 at the moment so need to visit Ireland much more

I can understand to an extent why this is not one of ABNC's finest. However, I really like the blue ink on the reverse, it seems to bring a subtle toning down of the whole note. I still like ABNC's work, and this note does show it off.

I agree, the blue back was one of the things that attracted me to this note as 'blue' notes do not seem to be very common at all with ABNC preferring yellow and green as the major colours. There are not many 'red' notes around either - now I have to see how many there actually are
