Watch List notes:

Reserve Bank of New Zealand, G.Wilson (1955-56), specimen one pound, number over letter, 0/K 000000, imprint of Thomas de la Rue & Company Limited, London on back and their SPECIMEN/NO VALUE lozenge in black in two opposite corners on front and back, SPECIMEN No. 10 in black bottom left margin on front (P.159bs; Robb R.225). Remnants of glue marks on back at right, otherwise nearly uncirculated and excessively rare. Provenance - Only around 10 issued notes are known to exist of this rare prefix variety. Robb states that the prefix was issued in error and that the correct prefix should have been K/0 (letter over number). He estimates that approximately 300,000 were printed around 1955. Robb also notes that the prefix run is 'the end of a sub type, as well as the mintage figure, has created the rarest Reserve Bank note. In 1998 only 7 notes were known'.

Estimate: 4000 AUD
