This is a joint venture between NPA and Australia Post celebrating Maritime Heritage. The Maritime Heritage is a non-profit organisation formed in 1989. The $20 note issued here is the same as those issued for general circulation but have a special prefix of MH99. Each note is also printed with the Maritime Heritage name and followed by the folder/serial no. As this is a deluxe set, the serial numbers are printed in black. Here, I have the folder #1727. This serial number is also printed on the pane of stamps issued by the Australia Post.
A total of 3000 sets issued, with 1000 printed in Premium edition and the remaining 2000 sets are in deluxe edition. Issue price for the deluxe set was $95.
