New Zealand 1981 - 1 Dollar H.R. Hardie Signature Vertical Perforated Specimen Serial AAA000000 (Pick 169as)

Printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, London, this specimen departs significantly from the earlier TDLR presentation formats used in the Fleming and Wilks periods.

These perforations function as the primary cancellation method and represent a different internal control approach within De La Rue’s specimen production practices during the early 1980s.
