Australia ca.1963 Commercial Banking Company of Sydney LIMITED £5 Travellers Cheque specimen

Australia 1963 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney LIMITED £5 Travellers Cheque Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

Perforated SPECIMEN with zero serials (No. M00.000), this archival piece was produced for approval and reference, pairing directly with the photographic proof that documented the design’s development. It represents the intersection of currency design and financial modernization, showing how Australian banking adopted global printing standards while maintaining distinctly Commonwealth-era aesthetics.

Argentina 1876 Banco de San Juan 5 Pesos Fuertes archival specimen printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, provincial private banknote, PMG 64 EPQ

Argentina 1876 - Banco de San Juan 5 Pesos Fuertes Specimen (S1881s)

The note was produced as a specimen and never intended for circulation. Its pristine paper surfaces, absence of wear, and specimen cancellation confirm its function as an internal approval, documentation, or archival reference. There is no evidence that an issued 5 Pesos Fuertes note of this Banco de San Juan type ever entered circulation, nor is any proof state documented.

Portugal 50 Mil Réis Specimen, ND (1917), Pick 110s, PMG 35

Portugal 1917 - Banco de Portugal 50 Mil Réis Specimen (Pick 110s)

This note pairs with the front progressive proof (Pick 110pp1) also in this collection, together forming a complete archival narrative from first engraving test to approved production plate. Few institutions, let alone private collectors, hold both. The specimen stands as Portugal’s last great multi-color Réis note-an artifact of national ambition translated into London intaglio during the brief, idealistic years of the First Republic.
