Australia 1965 20 Dollars traveller's cheque rejected design proof prepared by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company, London, for The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited, printed in blue-green and lavender with central Australia map motif, right-side control punch, printed facsimile signatures, top submission note dated 23 March 1965, and left-margin rejection annotation referring to the 12 April 1965 letter.

Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 20 Dollars Travellers Cheque Rejected Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

The design is visually rich and highly finished, showing Bradbury Wilkinson and Company's mature security-printing language in full expression. Blue-green and lavender toning is organized through a dense guilloche framework, over which the central inscription panel is set with formal clarity. Behind the lettering appears the large pale Australia map motif carrying the circular "C.B.C." medallion, a unifying emblem used across the series. The denomination tablets, broad signature line, and carefully balanced engraved borders give the proof a dignified corporate presence while preserving the elegance expected of a major London security printer working for an Australian banking institution at the threshold of decimal reform.

Issued Banco de Zaragoza 2000 reales vellón, Serie E No. 00500, Pick S455, 14 May 1857

Spain 1857 - Banco de Zaragoza 2000 Reales Vellón Serie E Issued Note No. 00500 (Pick S455)

The Banco de Zaragoza, active from 1857 to 1874, produced one of the most architecturally consistent and visually elaborate provincial banknote series in Spain. Its structured emission of reales de vellón comprised Serie A (100 reales), Serie B (200 reales), Serie C (500 reales), Serie D (1000 reales), Serie E (2000 reales), and Serie F (4000 reales). Of all these, issued Serie E notes are among the hardest to obtain; almost all known survivors show the characteristic circular cancellation punch used by the bank to void redeemed notes.
