Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 dollars specimen with red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint, two oval De La Rue NO VALUE control stamps, specimen number 017, serial prefix A/1 with all-zero serial and control number 017, single punch hole cancellation in the signature area, engraved signature of A. Jefferson as Chairman, turtle watermark, Pick 6s, PMG 64 EPQ holder

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen No. 017 with Red Overprint & Oval Stamp (Pick 6s)

The specimen state is defined by a layered De La Rue control protocol. A bold red diagonal SPECIMEN overprint spans the face, and two red oval control stamps reading “SPECIMEN / DE LA RUE / NO VALUE” are applied in the classic De La Rue format used to mark specimen material that had to remain visually legible while being permanently non-monetary. A further physical voiding measure is present as a single punch cancellation in the signature area, an additional safeguard that disables monetary function without obscuring the engraved design.

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen with Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' (Pick 6s, 467/1–A2)

This example must be catalogued separately from its parallel A1 counterpart because its archival control notation differs. In the upper right margin the printer job notation reads “467/1–A2.” Along the lower margin the inscription reads “C.T. Wood 12.10.89 see notes on order form.” Within printer-archive material, such suffix differences are not minor: they represent distinct internal states, filing or review designations, and handling history. In a field where the engraved design is intentionally stable, these notations become the primary fingerprints of the object. Read more →

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen with Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' (Pick 6s, 467/1–A1)

The reverse retains the marine engraving of a sailing vessel within a structured coastal composition. Even in a non-monetary specimen state, the design reflects De La Rue’s security-printing logic: layered line textures, controlled negative space, and structured ornamental framing that balance recognizability with engraving complexity.
