New Zealand 1968 - 1 Dollar D.L. Wilks Signature TDLR Overprint Specimen No. 012 Serial 6J000000 (Pick 163bs)

As a Wilks-signed specimen from the ND (1968–1975) issue, this note reflects the early post-introduction phase of New Zealand’s decimal currency system, where production shifted from initial rollout to sustained circulation supply. The presence of the full De La Rue specimen format-overprint, dual oval stamps, and punch cancellation-confirms its role as a formal presentation piece rather than an internal archival specimen.

This combination reflects the formal presentation style used for external distribution to central banks and official archives, distinct from internally retained perforated specimens.

New Zealand 1967 1 Dollar issued note with Fleming signature, serial IB563273, Pick 163a, graded PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated, top population example.

New Zealand 1967 - 1 Dollar Fleming Signature Issued Note Serial IB563273 (Pick 163a)

Printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, London, the note reflects the firm’s mid-twentieth-century mastery of intaglio engraving and guilloche design. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II in a formal portrait composition, while the watermark of Captain James Cook reinforces the historical continuity between New Zealand’s colonial past and its modern national identity. The one-dollar denomination replaced the ten-shilling note, becoming the foundation of everyday transactional currency within the new decimal framework.
