| Comments |
Bradbury Wilkinson printed New Zealand's higher-denomination paper series through much of the 1980s from their New Malden facility — a long-standing arrangement that predated decimalization. The P#175 sits at the top of that series and circulated during a period of significant monetary stress in New Zealand: inflation ran above 10% for most of the early 1980s, and the 1984 snap election triggered a currency crisis severe enough that the incoming Labour government was forced to devalue the dollar by 20% within days of taking office.
Two signatures appear across the print run — Hardie and Russell reflecting successive Governor appointments. Notes signed by each are equally available, though the Hardie signature corresponds to the earlier issues.
