New Zealand 1895–1915 Bank of New Zealand 5 Pounds Orange Specimen Pick S192s with dual serial numbers A000001 and A020000, perforated CANCELLED marking, left audit margin, and dated top margin printer annotations, printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Company, Limited, London, PMG 55 About Uncirculated.

New Zealand 1895–1915 - Bank of New Zealand £5 Orange Specimen (Pick S192s)

A perforated CANCELLED marking is applied across the lower central area, executed through pin-perforation rather than ink overprint, serving as the primary method of invalidation. At far left, a wide vertical audit margin remains visible, a characteristic feature of printer’s file copies retained for inspection and documentation. This margin, combined with the cancellation method, firmly places the note within Bradbury Wilkinson’s internal specimen retention system rather than external presentation formats. Read more →
