Even with inflation, the note is now worth a whopping 50 times its face value.
The Bank of England’s own inflation calculator reveals £5 from 1892 would be worth £550 now.
The bank had a branch in Birmingham from 1827, which was relocated three times before it closed in 1997, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Expert Andrew Pattison said: “The note is being sold by a long-term collector of high-end Bank of England notes, and we believe it is the rarest Birmingham £5 in existence.
“It is also likely to be the most expensive, as we fully anticipate that it will match or exceed its estimate.
“With this being the only known example in private hands, when we say a once-in-a-lifetime chance for collectors, we really mean it.”
A £500 Bank of England note signed by Cyril P Mahon and dated 15 December 1925 is also expected to fetch a similar amount
It is one of only four examples known to exist.
They are being auctioned by Noonans, Mayfair, on Wednesday and Thursday, October 15 and 16.
