New Zealand Post Office issued a short series of postal orders and related instruments denominated in decimal pence during the transitional period following New Zealand's 1967 decimalization. The 75 pence denomination is an odd one — it doesn't map cleanly to any standard postage rate of the period, which suggests this was either a composite rate instrument or produced for internal accounting purposes rather than routine counter use.
Specimen status here is notable: Post Office specimens were typically retained for archival or training purposes and were not released through normal philatelic channels.
