Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Approval-Stage Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)
The sequence is unusually clear. The 50 Dollars colour design proof was submitted on 23 March 1965 and was later marked with the review note referring to the 12 April 1965 letter. The 1 April 1965 photographic proof records the same denomination during the early review phase. The present 15 June 1965 photographic proof shows the revised 50 Dollars design brought forward in the June approval cycle, on the same date as the approved 10 Dollars design proof. It was not a record of a discarded March state, but a second-stage photographic proof made because the top denomination remained active within the corrected series development. Read more →
