Description and research notes
The most dramatic AR-prefix variety, this note bears a bold perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' across the portrait, with printer annotations linking it to De La Rue’s archival process.
Unlike the Red Overprint (Pick 175as / Miłczak Wb, AA only) and the Approval / Wzór akceptacyjny bez nadruków (Miłczak Wc, AA only), the perforated type is completely absent from all references.
It is entirely uncatalogued. With its AR-prefix companions, it proves the existence of 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.
