Description

Bank of New South Wales, unissued specimen one pound, Sydney, undated 18-, not numbered, imprint Bradbury Wilkinson & Co Engravers & c. London. Nearly uncirculated and very rare.

Charles Skipper & East of London printed most post-1860 issues for the Bank of New South Wales, however around 1887 some forgeries appeared and rival printer Bradbury Wilkinson & Co., submitted some examples of their work for the Bank's consideration. This design was later adapted for notes issued by the Bank of Victoria.
