Australia Federal Bank of Australia Limited one pound Sydney specimen printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, annotated 1882, PMG 64 Choice Uncirculated

Australia 1879–1903 - Federal Bank of Australia, Limited £1 Sydney Specimen (Pick Unlisted)

A pencilled annotation reading “9 May 82” appears on the note. Such annotations are rarely preserved on specimen material and provide valuable documentary evidence of how reference notes were handled during the working life of a banknote design. Specimens were commonly retained in printer archives, banking offices, or presentation sets used during the approval and distribution process. Handwritten notes added during this process form part of the historical record of the object itself. In this case, the annotation confirms that the specimen was already in institutional reference use by 1882, within the earliest operational period of the Federal Bank of Australia. Read more →

Complete nine-note Stockholm Spinnhus pollett monetary system from circa 1785, including all denominations from one half öre to one daler, preserved in unissued condition and classified as R10 extremely rare.

Sweden 1785 - Stockholm Spinnhus Pollett System – Complete Nine-Denomination Institutional Currency Set (One Half Öre to One Daler)

This complete nine-note ensemble represents the entire internal monetary system of Stockholm’s Spinnhus, the women’s correctional institution and workhouse operating on Långholmen Island during the late eighteenth century. Produced circa 1785, these engraved pollett notes functioned as closed-economy institutional currency, issued exclusively for use within the prison environment. They served as a controlled medium of exchange through which inmates were compensated for labor, particularly the spinning and processing of flax and wool. Internally, the notes operated as proto-fiat currency, enabling regulated transactions, discipline, and subsistence within a self-contained penal micro-economy. Read more →
