New Zealand 1905–1916 Bank of New Zealand £1 Red Pick S212bs, serial prefix G000001–G100000, perforated CANCELLED, Bradbury Wilkinson & Co., PMG 55 AU

New Zealand 1905–1916 - Bank of New Zealand £1 Red Cancelled Specimen with Serial Number Prefix G000001–G100000 (Pick S212bs)

The presence of live production serial numbers with the letter prefix G clearly distinguishes this class from unnumbered file specimens. The perforated CANCELLED across the signature panel confirms archival invalidation of a fully completed, final-design note rather than a proof or presentation pull. Specimens of this type preserve the finished design together with the actual serial logic employed in production. Read more →

New Zealand 1905–1916 Bank of New Zealand £1 Red Pick S212bs, serial prefix G100001–G300000, perforated CANCELLED, Bradbury Wilkinson & Co.

New Zealand 1905–1916 - Bank of New Zealand £1 Red Cancelled Specimen with Serial Number Prefix G100001–G300000 (Pick S212bs)

This cancelled variant represents the second major production block of the BNZ £1 Red sequence. Surviving examples from this middle G-prefix range are scarcer than the opening block and provide critical evidence of how Bradbury Wilkinson structured its production ranges during late-WWI contracts.
