Fiji 1942 one pound wartime overprint on New Zealand Reserve Bank £1 note showing Government of Fiji overprint and red FI/O serial number

Fiji 1942 - 1 Pound Government of Fiji Overprint on New Zealand £1 (Pick 45c)

The overprint effectively transformed the New Zealand note into a locally restricted wartime currency while preserving the underlying engraved design. The original elements remain visible, including the kiwi vignette at left, the New Zealand coat of arms at center, and the portrait of Māori King Tāwhiao at right. Red serial numbers prefixed 'FI/O' were applied to distinguish the converted notes from their New Zealand counterparts and to integrate them into Fiji’s emergency circulation system. Read more →

United States Series of 1928C Five Dollars Legal Tender Note with red Treasury seal and red serial numbers, GA block, Friedberg 1528, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, showing strong centering, vivid red seal color, and crisp engraving detail.

United States 1928C - Five Dollars Legal Tender Note Red Seal, Friedberg 1528, GA Block, PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

The vivid red Treasury seal and matching red serial numbers distinguish Legal Tender Notes from contemporary Federal Reserve issues. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, these obligations were direct liabilities of the United States Treasury itself. The bold red elements contrast sharply against the deep green engraving of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln, whose dignified likeness anchors the obverse. The reverse presents the engraved Lincoln Memorial vignette, a compact yet intricate rendering that balances architectural precision with classical symmetry. Read more →

Ireland - Northern 1940 - Ulster Bank Limited 1 Pound Issued Note (Pick 306)

The promise-to-pay text dominates the center of the note, presenting the banknote as the obligation of Ulster Bank Limited rather than a central-bank issue. The large blue ONE POUND panel, red serial numbers, ornamental denomination cartouches, and engraved borderwork create a layered design that remained close to the proof material of the same design family while functioning here as a completed issued note.
