Commercial Banking Company of Sydney LIMITED £5 proof, circa 1905–1910, PMG 63 EPQ

Australia 1905–1910 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney LIMITED £5 Specimen Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Beyond its immediate visual appeal, the note documents the final years of Australian private-banknote autonomy. Prior to the 1910 Australian Notes Act, private banks like the CBC were empowered to issue their own circulating currency. Large denominations such as this £5 were central to interbank settlement, bullion purchases, commercial clearing, and the financial infrastructure of Sydney’s rapidly expanding economy.

New Zealand ND (1924-1933) - Bank of New South Wales Ten Shillings Oversized Proof, Perforated SPECIMEN (Pick S161s)

This proof is printed single sided in orange red intaglio on an oversized sheet with wide untrimmed margins and a completely blank reverse. The enlarged format was intentional. London security printers routinely pulled proofs on oversized paper to allow inspection of ink spread, plate pressure, line integrity, and margin balance before trimming dimensions were finalized. Such sheets were retained within the printers workshop and archive and were never intended for bank distribution.

Argentina 1866 - Banco de Londres y Rio de la Plata 1 Real Rosario Type B (Hand-Signed) PS1731 · Bauman SFE 70

The note belongs to the typographic bank vale tradition that preceded the engraved security banknotes produced by specialized printing houses later in the century. The frame uses ornamental typographic borders repeating the word "REAL," with the denomination centered in a circular medallion. The manuscript payment text and place of issue emphasize functional clarity over decorative imagery.
