Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 1000 Pesos Specimen, Perforated Cancel, Series A–B (Pick 41as)

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen Pick 40as with perforated cancellation

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Perforated Cancel, Serie A (Pick 40as)

This Serie A five hundred pesos specimen of the Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay preserves a distinctive perforation-cancel format from the 1939 issue. Rather than relying on red ink overprints, numbered specimen inscriptions, or printer control stamps, the note was permanently invalidated by a diagonal perforated CANCELLED inscription cut directly through the paper. The result is a reference note whose monetary status was removed mechanically while its printed design remained almost completely unobstructed. Read more →

Uruguay 1939 Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 pesos specimen, Pick 40as, Serie A, printed SPECIMEN overprint with De La Rue CANCELLED stamp and Specimen No. 29

Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Printed Cancel, Serie A, Specimen No. 29 (Pick 40as)

A broad diagonal red SPECIMEN overprint crosses the principal design field, immediately establishing the note's reference status. The oval SPECIMEN DE LA RUE CANCELLED control stamp adds a second level of authority, identifying the cancellation as part of the printer's formal handling system. Unlike a purely decorative overprint, the combined markings communicate both function and custody: the note was intentionally prepared, recorded, and invalidated under controlled conditions.

Jefferson as Chairman, turtle watermark, Pick 6s, PMG 64 EPQ holder

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen No. 017 with Red Overprint & Oval Stamp (Pick 6s)

The specimen state is defined by a layered De La Rue control protocol. A bold red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint spans the face, and two red oval control stamps reading “SPECIMEN / DE LA RUE / NO VALUE” are applied in the classic De La Rue format used to mark specimen material that had to remain visually legible while being permanently non-monetary. A further physical voiding measure is present as a single punch cancellation in the signature area, an additional safeguard that disables monetary function without obscuring the engraved design.
