New Zealand 1981 1 Dollar printer annotation specimen with star serial AA000000*, handwritten not approved marking, single punch hole, no overprint or oval stamp, Pick 169as, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

New Zealand 1981 - 1 Dollar H.R. Hardie Signature Printer’s Annotation Specimen Star Serial AA000000* (Pick 169as)

Unlike other specimen types of the period, this example does not carry a red overprint, perforated 'SPECIMEN' markings, or De La Rue oval control stamps. Instead, it features a single punch-hole cancellation, applied as a basic invalidation method. Additional pen markings and testing lines are visible on both obverse and reverse, consistent with internal handling, evaluation, or marking procedures during the production process. Read more →

Luxembourg 1982 20 Francs specimen Pick 54As with multicolor design, horizontal SPECIMEN overprint and single punch hole, PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated

Luxembourg 1982 - 20 Francs Specimen Unissued Series (Pick 54As)

The note carries a centered horizontal SPECIMEN overprint and a single punch-hole cancellation through the signature area, marking a clear departure from the dual-hole system used in the 1966 De La Rue specimens. This difference in cancellation method, together with the printer attribution, confirms that the piece belongs to a separate production program rather than a variation of the earlier issue.

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 Dual-Side State and Treasury Revalidation Overprint (Pick Unlisted, Base Pick 156)

Uncirculated 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos note, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, and later transformed by the 1912 Paraguayan emergency revalidation process. The note is based on the original 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos issue, cataloged as Pick 156, but this dual-side state and Treasury validation format appears to stand outside the standard catalog listing and is therefore best treated as Pick Unlisted, base Pick 156. The face carries the large oval state overprint “Emisión del Estado – Ley de 11 de Enero de 1912,” while the reverse bears the additional Treasury validation “Departamento de Hacienda – Junta Fiscalizadora – Cincuenta Centavos Oro Sellado – Conforme Decreto de 20 de Mayo 1912.” This dual-side structure places the note among the most historically informative forms of Paraguay’s 1912 provisional paper money.

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos with 1912 State Overprint (Pick 127, Base Pick 156)

Choice Uncirculated 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos note, printed by Waterlow & Sons, London, and later revalidated as part of Paraguay’s 1912 emergency state emission. The note is cataloged as Pick 127, created by applying the large oval face overprint “Emisión del Estado – Ley de 11 de Enero de 1912” to the original 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos base type, Pick 156. This is the standard cataloged 5 Pesos state-overprint issue and the direct counterpart to the larger 100 Pesos Pick 134 overprint on base Pick 159. Read more →

Paraguay 1907 - Banco de la República 5 Pesos Issued Note (Pick 156)

Issued 1907 Banco de la República 5 Pesos note, cataloged as Pick 156 and printed by Waterlow & Sons, London. This is the original, non-overprinted base type from which the later 1912 5 Pesos emergency state-overprint issue was created. In this untouched issued form, without the later “Emisión del Estado” oval stamp and without the additional reverse Treasury validation seen on the dual-side fiscalized variety, the note preserves the full Waterlow & Sons design as Paraguay originally released it under the monetary framework of 1907.
