New Zealand 1975 1 Dollar Replacement Star Note with R.L. Knight signature, Pick 163c star, serial Y91304453 star, graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated.

New Zealand 1975 - 1 Dollar Knight Signature Replacement Star Note Serial Y91304453* (Pick 163c*)

The 1975 one-dollar Replacement Star Note belongs to the R.L. Knight signature period of New Zealand’s decimal currency system and was issued within the 1975-1977 production range. Unlike ordinary circulation notes, replacement notes were created as reserve substitutes for spoiled or defective sheets discovered during manufacture. Their purpose was practical and highly controlled: to preserve accounting integrity and maintain the required note count when damaged pieces were withdrawn before release. For collectors, that functional role gives replacement notes a distinct identity within the issuing series, separating them from both standard issued notes and specimen formats. Read more →
