Uruguay 1939 - Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay 500 Pesos Specimen, Printed Cancel, Serie A, Specimen No. 29 (Pick 40as)

Numbered Specimen No. 29, this Serie A five hundred pesos note was prepared as a formally identified reference example of the Banco de la Republica Oriental del Uruguay issue authorized under the law of 2 January 1939.

United States 1854 Empire City Bank 100 Dollars proof note, Collins Line steamship vignette, blank reverse with American Bank Note Company archival stamp, PMG Uncirculated 62 EPQ

United States 1854 - Empire City Bank 100 Dollars Proof (Pick NY1585G16P)

The design differs from issued Empire City Bank notes cataloged under Haxby G16. Most notably, the male portrait normally found in the lower right corner of circulation examples is absent, indicating that the layout was still under review at the proof stage. The note lacks serial numbers and officer signatures, and four punch of cancellation markers are present in the signature positions. These punch marks served as internal controls, ensuring that proof material could not be diverted for monetary use while still allowing close examination of engraving quality, denomination balance, and overall visual authority.

Cayman Islands Currency Board unissued photographic back proof for the one dollar denomination, circa 1970, showing a fully developed ornamental reverse design prepared as a standalone security printing surface

Cayman Islands 1970 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 1 Dollar Unissued Back Photographic Proof

This proof carries no serial numbers, signatures, legal text, or circulation elements. Its format and finish confirm that it was never intended for monetary use, serving instead as internal reference material associated with currency design preparation. The absence of any complementary printed surface is consistent with its function as a single-sided design proof rather than as part of a completed banknote. Read more →

Cayman Islands Currency Board one dollar issued note dated 1974, Pick 5e, serial prefix A/6 number 105218, Queen Elizabeth the Second portrait and Cayman Islands coat of arms on the obverse, marine vignette on the reverse, PMG 67 Exceptional Paper Quality holder

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 1 Dollar Issued Note (Pick 5e)

The obverse is built around a deliberately conservative composition typical of late twentieth century Thomas De La Rue and Company Limited output for British overseas territories. Queen Elizabeth the Second appears at right in a dense engraved portrait field designed to anchor the note’s authority visually and to concentrate anti-counterfeiting linework in a single high-information zone. At center, the Cayman Islands coat of arms is integrated into a bold denomination panel reading One Dollar, a layout that privileges immediate denomination recognition while preserving an uncluttered field for security patterning. Beneath the central panel, the note bears the engraved signature of A. Jefferson, serving as Chairman of the Cayman Islands Currency Board at the time of this printing. The printed serial number 105218 with prefix A/6 occupies the left and right serial positions, providing the operational identity of this specific note within the printed run. Read more →

The serial number 997069 with prefix A/5 is printed at left and right, reflecting controlled batch identification within the issued run and distinguishing this emission from earlier and later printings of the same design. The presence of Jefferson’s signature situates the note within a specific administrative phase of the Currency Board’s operation rather than as a generic example of the 1974 series. Read more →
