Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Approval-Stage Photographic Proof (Pick Unlisted)

The sequence is unusually clear. The 50 Dollars colour design proof was submitted on 23 March 1965 and was later marked with the review note referring to the 12 April 1965 letter. The 1 April 1965 photographic proof records the same denomination during the early review phase. The present 15 June 1965 photographic proof shows the revised 50 Dollars design brought forward in the June approval cycle, on the same date as the approved 10 Dollars design proof. It was not a record of a discarded March state, but a second-stage photographic proof made because the top denomination remained active within the corrected series development. Read more →

Great Britain 1919 - Thomas Cook and Son Limited 50 Dollars Travellers Cheques Photographic Proof, Central Eagle Vignette Design (Pick Unlisted)

Great Britain c. 1900 - Thomas Cook and Son 20 Pounds Circular Note, Cancelled Unissued Note (Pick Unlisted)

The face is headed by a large THOMAS COOK & SON title extending across the upper central field. Beneath it appears the serial number No. 1163727 S at the left, the place of issue London in script at center, and a partially preprinted date field beginning with 19 at the right. The remaining date was intended to be completed when the instrument entered use, so the printed 19 does not establish the precise year of production. Immediately below, the principal title reads CIRCULAR NOTE FOR TWENTY POUNDS, with a large script £20 denomination positioned prominently at the right. Read more →
