Japan - ¥2000 Yen Banknote - VERY RARE "AA" S/N Uncirculated (UNC) Never Handled

Description: Japan - ¥2000 Yen Banknote - 2000 (ND) UNC (Uncirculated), serial number AA041185N is crisp, flat, never handled (see photo). It has not been graded, but would likely grade at 67 (Superb Gem Uncirculated) or higher. This particular note is the very rare "AA" prefix on the serial number, representing a tiny percentage of the 2000 banknotes printed. TThe ¥2000 Yen Banknote represents a unique piece of Japan's numismatic history, was never in widespread use and is valued by collectors for its unique background and design. The obverse features Shureimon gate of Shuri Castle, a symbol of Okinawa's heritage and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Shureimon Gate is also featured in the watermark. The reverse shows, Scene 38 "The Bell Cricket" from The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari) and a copy of the upper portion of the script in the background on the left. A portrait of its author, Murasaki Shikibu at the lower right. Background: Despite its significance, the ¥2000 Yen note was never widely circulated, because it is not taken by the vast majority of Japanese vending machines - which are among the biggest uses of paper money in Japan. As a result, the 2000 Yen banknote constitutes only 0.9% of all Japanese banknotes in circulation, and the Bank of Japan is holding 4/5 of those printed in storage, most likely eventually to be destroyed, making the ¥2000 note a sought-after item for collectors. One of only a very small number available.
