A few weeks ago at Heritage HK sale, the collection that included the 20 dollar French young princess serial 007, this odd lot was in the sale. One of the few times Heritage photos did not show clearly what this page is, so took a leap of faith due to this collectors high end QE2 world notes. In hand this is printed on thin paper with raised ink, it seems to be testing spacing, the Queen"s effigy which the BOC hired De La Rue to produce. Seems like some of these cool proofs are starting to appear on the market place, only bad thing was I got really bidded up probably paid too much, oh well never seen this stuff in 30 or more years
