Description and research notes
Printed by Thomas De La Rue in London, this AR-prefix specimen shows the bold diagonal SPECIMEN overprint and oval 'NO VALUE' stamp.
Pick 175as and Miłczak Wb record this format only with the AA prefix. The AR prefix is uncatalogued, absent from all references and auction records.
It is one of three trial formats — Red Overprint (catalogued AA only), Approval / Wzór akceptacyjny bez nadruków (catalogued AA only), and the perforated variety (uncatalogued entirely).
Aligned by prefix, these three form a complete structured set. Not recorded in Pick or Miłczak, this is the first documented complete set by prefix, unique in world literature and unmatched in the market.
