Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 20 Dollars Travellers Cheque Rejected Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

Its physical features place it securely within the March 1965 submission stage. The proof carries the "As Submitted 23.3.65" notation at the top and the decisive handwritten review note at the left margin recording the 12 April 1965 rejection letter. A round control punch appears at the right, and both printed facsimile signatures are present, confirming the sheet as a presentation-stage proof from the original approval process. These characteristics connect it directly with the companion 50 Dollars rejected design proof from the same 23 March 1965 submission, establishing both pieces as parallel records of the first design direction shown to the bank.
