Below are three notes all issued in 1988. The signatures on these notes belonged to Sir Henry ToRobert (b.1942-(Governor) and John Vulupindi (Secretary, Department of Finance). These are the reprints of the 1975 first issue. These are the only three notes printed with these signature combinations. In addition to these three denominations, other denominations (20 and 50 kina) were also issued between 1981 to 1991.
Sir Henry ToRobert was the first governor of the Bank of Papua New Guinea. He was appointed to the Governor of the bank on 22.10.1973 before Papua New Guinea achieved independence. He left the bank on 30.07.1993.
John Vulupindi was also later appointed as the fourth Governor of the Bank of Papua New Guinea from 09.04.1998 to 29.07.1998. I believe he holds the shortest term as Governor of the bank.
As you can see, the 2 and 5 kina notes are in circulated condition. I got these two notes from someone who once worked in Papua New Guinea. I got them at face value and did not bother to have them replaced with those in batter condition.
These notes ceased legal tender on 30.06.2013.
