Australia 1961 Bank of New South Wales Sterling Traveller’s Cheques complete printer’s proof set by Bradbury Wilkinson & Company showing 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 Pounds denominations with control punches, numbering annotations, and the 10 Pounds master approval sheet with perforated binding stub and red reverse sign-off

Australia 1961 - Bank of New South Wales Sterling Travellers Cheques, Complete Printer’s Proof Set £2-£50 (Pick Unlisted)

The remaining 2 Pounds, 5 Pounds, 20 Pounds, and 50 Pounds sheets are companion numbering proofs from the same printer batch. Their identical paper stock, control-punch placement, handwriting, and synchronized margin notes confirm that the set represents a single production event rather than an accumulation of unrelated proofs. Minor pencil ticks and short filing codes appear on the margins, and the reverses show light archival handling consistent with Bradbury Wilkinson proof-room practice. Read more →

Luxembourg 1951 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs multi-stage photographic proof assembly showing early and advanced face designs with A000000 serial on front and reverse industrial vignette with dated annotations

Luxembourg 1951 Banque Internationale a Luxembourg 100 Francs Multi-Stage Photographic Proof Assembly (Pick Unlisted)

Notably, this advanced face retains a serial numbering system positioned on the front of the note, including a prefix and placeholder numbering in the form "A000000" placed above the signature area. This reflects a conventional banknote layout in which serial numbers are applied to the face. In contrast, the finalized 1956 issue and its corresponding photographic proofs relocate serial numbering entirely to the reverse, where it remains in the issued note. The presence of front-based numbering at this stage therefore documents a transitional design condition, demonstrating that the functional structure of the note had not yet reached its final configuration in 1951.

Uruguay 1925 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 100 Pesos Photographic Proof Pair, Dated 29 April 1925 (Pick Unlisted)

The photographic format distinguishes this pair from plate proofs, color trials, and completed specimens. Rather than recording ink transferred directly from an engraved printing plate, the photographs preserve the assembled design as a visual master for review, annotation, comparison, and archival retention. The cardstock mounting created a stable working surface on which production information could be recorded without altering the underlying photographic image.

Poland 1994 - 50 Zlotych Front Proof (Pick 175ap1)

The definitive front proof of the 1994 50 Złotych issue, this sheet represents the final approved obverse design prepared by Thomas De La Rue for Narodowy Bank Polski during Poland’s post-communist monetary reform. Executed as an internal production proof, it preserves the complete engraved obverse exactly as authorized for issue, prior to serial numbering and reverse printing.
