Proof banknote
A proof note is printed with a purpose of establishing the quality, design and other properties of the printing. Proof notes may be unfinished in design and may be missing certain characteristics (serial number, colour, and printing phase) that one would expect to see on a finished note. Proof notes are usually made to aid the printer and the issuing authority with the selection of design, colour, etc. A proof note can sometimes bear a 'specimen' overprint.
