| 正面描述 | Blue intaglio print on white paper with black letterpress serial numbers, centred around a cartographic vignette of New Guinea and northern Australia set within an ornate engraved border. The text of the order-to-pay obligation, company name, and scriptural motto occupy the upper and lower registers, with signature lines for Director and Managing Director below the main text block. The printer's imprint of Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. appears at the foot. |

| 背面描述 | Reverse is essentially blank white paper, bearing only the show-through impression of the obverse printing visible in blue. A perforated cancellation reading "CANCELLED" is applied in the lower central area, confirming this example's status as a cancelled trial or pattern piece. |

Papuan Industries Ltd. was a labour-recruiting and plantation enterprise operating in British New Guinea, and this 1 Pound note is among the rarest examples of private scrip issued in the Pacific — produced not by any government or colonial treasury, but by a commercial company to facilitate wages and internal transactions in a territory where coin was chronically scarce. Bradbury, Wilkinson produced it to the same technical standard they applied to sovereign currency, which makes the issuer's obscurity all the more striking.
Very few examples are known to have survived.
