Australia 1880–1910 - Commercial Bank of Australia £100 Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

Engraved by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. in London and printed locally by Sands & McDougall in Melbourne, the note embodies the cooperative evolution of Australian banknote production. Bradbury, Wilkinson supplied the master plates, security devices, and engraving framework, while Sands & McDougall executed local printing to supply the bank's circulation demands across Victoria and the wider Australian colonies. The imprint 'Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., Engravers, London' confirms its master-plate origin, while the local printer’s marks establish the dual-track production typical of the late colonial banking era.

New Zealand 1907–1926 - Bank of New Zealand £20 Blue Serial-Prefix Audit Specimen (Pick S194s)

The £20 denomination occupied the highest settlement tier within the BNZ system and was deliberately executed in a blue–slate color family reserved for upper-level clearing and interbank instruments. This chromatic choice followed Bradbury Wilkinson’s established BNZ color logic, progressing from £1 Green through £5 Red and £10 Brown to the subdued blue tones of the £20, visually signaling professional handling and high-value usage.
