Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 10 Dollars Travellers Cheque Approved Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Several physical features identify this sheet as the accepted approval-stage record. The round control punch appears at the left, directly over the countersignature and facsimile-signature area. A fine red approval line runs along the lower margin and records the approval wording and 15 June 1965 submission date. The small "B1" notation appears in the upper right corner, almost certainly functioning as an internal Bradbury Wilkinson and Company plate, layout, or colour-stage reference. The sheet also preserves manuscript filing notes and printer's-room handling marks, giving it the character of a retained archival approval record from the original production process. Read more →
