New Zealand 1870–1890 Bank of New Zealand 1 Pound Green Specimen Pick S191s, dual serial numbers A197001 and B047000, perforated CANCELLED, Bradbury Wilkinson printing, PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated

New Zealand 1870–1890 - Bank of New Zealand £1 Green Specimen (Pick S191s)

The note was produced as an internal printer’s specimen for archival retention and audit purposes. A perforation reading 'SPECIMEN B.W & Co LONDON' is applied across the lower central area, executed through pin-perforation rather than ink overprint, serving as the primary method of specimen invalidation and identification. At far left, a wide vertical audit margin remains intact, a characteristic feature of printer’s file copies retained for inspection, documentation, and internal reference within Bradbury Wilkinson’s production system.

Luxembourg 1970 - 100 Francs Color Trial Specimen (Pick 56cts)

France 1792 - Domaines Nationaux Assignat 15 Sols Série 1808 (Pick A54)

PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated-light handling but strong paper body and crisp embossing.
