$20 (1973) - Barbados - SPECIMEN TDLR.
Rare bill - this is a specimen printed at the Thomas de la Rue printing house, with zero numbering, low mintage no: 012, with SPECIMEN and TDLR printer's checkout stamp printed on both sides diagonally (two stamps per side), banknote with double perforation.
On the reverse made annotations in pen, most likely at the TDLR printing house. According to our opinion, these are handwritten notes on the banknote, which indicated the changes that were to be applied already when the circulating banknotes of this denomination were printed (the change to non-blue color), which eventually occurred. In our opinion, this banknote is more interesting because of this, as it can be said that it acted as an acceptance.
An attractive piece, confirmed by a high PMG grading note, in addition, an EPQ annotation attesting to the exceptional quality of the paper.
