This shows how little I know about banknotes. It took me a while to understand this. I believe this is an expensive note. I am not sure if you are referring to P44 or P48? I have the P48, and paid A$82 back in 2004. I hope you get a good price for your notes.
Update: Just saw your profile and I believe you are referring to P48??

That is a hefty sum for this note. Why is it so costly?

I record all my purchases in an excel spreadsheet since 2009, but somehow, I only have the details for this note's purchase price back in 2004, and for that I am unable to say from who and where I got this note from. After careful looking at my records, I believe this is how I got this note back then.
I have a full set from 2 to 20 lira UNC (P45d, 46d, 47c and 68) for $A$8.25; $20.57; $41.15; and $82.30 respectively back in September 2004. I believe these notes were acquired at the central bank in Malta by one of my work colleagues, who took sometimes (1 year) off traveling in Europe back in 2004. He also got me the Malta Millennium set with a folder for A$95.01 ( 2/5/10 lira) from the central bank too. I was also offered to get older Maltese banknotes in circulated condition but I declined them (Should have said yes then as some of those were QEll notes).
Was the 20 lira expensive? When I saw your email, for a moment I thought, yeah, that really looks expensive. Then I went and checked out the exchange rate on Google and this is what I found;
What I have paid for was actually the exchange rate at that time. The Maltese lira was a strong currency then. If you do the same google search, 25 lira can get you 58.2343 euro. As the Euro replaced the Lira on 01.01.2008, I am not sure if the Lira can still be converted to euro at the central bank. To me, the notes are worth more in hand that the actual face value, especially all my Lira are in UNC condition.
