Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 dollars perforated specimen with SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE cancellation, serial prefix A/1 with all-zero serial number, upper right handwritten notation 467/1–A2, lower margin inscription C.T.

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen with Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' (Pick 6s, 467/1–A2)

The reverse retains the maritime engraving of a sailing vessel framed by denomination panels and ornamental surrounds. De La Rue’s linework treatment-rigging, water texture, and structured border geometry-demonstrates how a currency board issue maintained both local identity and security-printing discipline through conventional engraved vocabulary rather than through novelty.

Cayman Islands 1974 - Cayman Islands Currency Board 5 Dollars Specimen with Perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' (Pick 6s, 467/1–A1)

What makes this example individually identifiable, and therefore non-interchangeable with parallel perforated specimens, is its archival handwriting. In the upper right margin the printer job notation reads “467/1–A1.” Along the lower margin the inscription reads “C.T. Wood 12.10.89 see notes on order form.” These are not decorative marks but internal De La Rue workflow identifiers, documenting filing and review status within the printer’s archival control system.
