New Zealand 1981 1 Dollar H.R. Hardie Signature vertical perforated SPECIMEN on both sides with horizontal red overprint, no punch holes or oval stamp, Serial AAA000000, Pick 169as, PMG 65 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

New Zealand 1981 - 1 Dollar H.R. Hardie Signature Vertical Perforated Specimen Serial AAA000000 (Pick 169as)

Printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, London, this specimen departs significantly from the earlier TDLR presentation formats used in the Fleming and Wilks periods. Instead of diagonal overprints and punch-hole cancellations, this example employs a vertical perforation system along both margins spelling 'SPECIMEN'. These perforations function as the primary cancellation method and represent a different internal control approach within De La Rue’s specimen production practices during the early 1980s.

New Zealand 1981 - 1 Dollar H.R. Hardie Signature Printer’s Annotation Specimen Star Serial AA000000* (Pick 169as)

Unlike other specimen types of the period, this example does not carry a red overprint, perforated 'SPECIMEN' markings, or De La Rue oval control stamps. Instead, it features a single punch-hole cancellation, applied as a basic invalidation method. Additional pen markings and testing lines are visible on both obverse and reverse, consistent with internal handling, evaluation, or marking procedures during the production process. Read more →
