New Zealand 1977 - 1 Dollar Hardie Signature Issued Note Serial K26161311 (Pick 163d)

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. Instead of diagonal overprints and punch-hole cancellations, this example employs a vertical perforation system along both margins spelling 'SPECIMEN'. 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.

Luxembourg 1982 - 20 Francs Specimen Unissued Series (Pick 54As)

The note carries a centered horizontal SPECIMEN overprint and a single punch-hole cancellation through the signature area, marking a clear departure from the dual-hole system used in the 1966 De La Rue specimens. This difference in cancellation method, together with the printer attribution, confirms that the piece belongs to a separate production program rather than a variation of the earlier issue.
