Sample prints are part of the process of designing and preparing coins and banknotes planned for issue for circulation. The use of the phrase SPECIMEN is usually to indicate a final embossing or printing pattern, although over the years the phrase has also been used to indicate examples in the preparation process that differ in design, colors, captions, etc.
Banknotes stamped with the word SPECIMEN are usually used as final printing samples for banknotes planned for circulation and are used for several purposes: for official documentation at the Central Bank, for preparation of sets for distribution as a gift and display for the purpose of presenting the new banknotes of the issuing country and especially to central banks in the world, countries that are in commercial connections or that have inbound tourism from Israel.
