New Zealand 1968 1 Dollar D.L. Wilks Signature TDLR Overprint Specimen Serial 6J000000 Specimen No. 012 with double De La Rue oval stamps and single punch hole, Pick 163bs, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

New Zealand 1968 - 1 Dollar D.L. Wilks Signature TDLR Overprint Specimen No. 012 Serial 6J000000 (Pick 163bs)

As a Wilks-signed specimen from the ND (1968–1975) issue, this note reflects the early post-introduction phase of New Zealand’s decimal currency system, where production shifted from initial rollout to sustained circulation supply. The presence of the full De La Rue specimen format-overprint, dual oval stamps, and punch cancellation-confirms its role as a formal presentation piece rather than an internal archival specimen.

New Zealand 1968 1 Dollar Wilks Signature Perforated SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE Pick 163bs serial 5J000000 PCGS 66 PPQ Gem New

New Zealand 1968 - 1 Dollar Wilks Signature Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' Specimen Serial 5J000000 (Pick 163bs)

Unlike the overprint presentation type, this piece carries the legend 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' perforated across the design, with no red diagonal overprint, no De La Rue oval control stamps, and no punch-hole cancellation. Perforated specimens were retained internally by Thomas De La Rue & Company for record and archival verification rather than prepared for external distribution. Their survival rate is limited, as most were withdrawn or destroyed once production advanced into later signature periods.
