Has anyone else got any photos of British Commonwealth Specimen & printers' trial banknotes that they can upload?

Yes,even the banknotes of the Republic of Ireland,Somaliland,& Zimbabwe do count.

Aidan - If only the header is World Specimen and Color Trail, than we can expected to see more nice specimen. What do you think?

An Interesting Samoa Polymer Specimen

Vincent,
Those are very nice.I've never come across a Western Samoan polymer plastic 2 Tala note as a Specimen note before.I don't know if it is listed in Pick though.

The reason why I have limited this group only to the British Commonwealth Specimen & printers' colour trial notes is that they are an understudied & underrated area of British Commonwealth numismatics.

Here are some Western Samoan Cancelled notes.

Charles,
These are very unusual Western Samoan Specimen notes that you have got there.

I've never come across Specimen notes with 'CANCELLED' instead of 'SPECIMEN' before.

Are these listed in Pick? If not,you'd better let Owen Linzmayer know about them.

Do you have any Tongan Specimen notes in your collection at all? They elude me as well.

Aidan.
