Australia 1961 - Bank of New South Wales Sterling Travellers Cheques, Complete Printer’s Proof Set £2-£50 (Pick Unlisted)

Preserved intact, this set documents the final pre-decimal Sterling traveller’s cheque series prepared for the Bank of New South Wales immediately prior to Australia’s 1966 currency changeover.
