Australia 1965 - Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited 50 Dollars Travellers Cheque Rejected Design Proof (Pick Unlisted)

As the highest denomination in The Commercial Banking Company of Sydney Limited's surviving 1965 traveller's cheque proof group, this sheet is a discovery-level archival record. Its submission date, rejection annotation, top-denomination role, right-side control punch, printed signature element, and direct connection to the April and June photographic proof stages place it among the defining pieces of the documented approval sequence. It preserves Bradbury Wilkinson and Company's original 50 Dollars design proposal at the exact point where the series moved from formal submission into review, revision, and eventual acceptance of the cleaner June design language.

Its physical features place it securely within the March 1965 submission stage. The proof carries the "As Submitted 23.3.65" notation at the top and the decisive handwritten review note at the left margin recording the 12 April 1965 rejection letter. A round control punch appears at the right, and both printed facsimile signatures are present, confirming the sheet as a presentation-stage proof from the original approval process. These characteristics connect it directly with the companion 50 Dollars rejected design proof from the same 23 March 1965 submission, establishing both pieces as parallel records of the first design direction shown to the bank.

The sequence is unusually clear. The 50 Dollars colour design proof was submitted on 23 March 1965 and was later marked with the review note referring to the 12 April 1965 letter. The 1 April 1965 photographic proof records the same denomination during the early review phase. The present 15 June 1965 photographic proof shows the revised 50 Dollars design brought forward in the June approval cycle, on the same date as the approved 10 Dollars design proof. It was not a record of a discarded March state, but a second-stage photographic proof made because the top denomination remained active within the corrected series development.
