Postal orders of New Zealand

Postal orders were issued in New Zealand from 1886 until 1986.[1][2]

New Zealand 1907 One Shilling Postal Note

New Zealand postal notes

The first postal notes were issued in 1886.[3] Some of them are known overprinted "SPECIMEN", in 1890.[4] It has been confirmed that the last day of issue was 31 July 1986.[5]

New Zealand-issued British postal orders

It is not yet known when these were first issued. The majority of them were overprinted. They ceased to be issued during 1987[5] due to the announcement by Mr. (now Sir) Roger Douglas that foreign exchange controls were being abolished.

The 5 shilling denomination was not commonly overprinted.

Any extant examples are very sought after by collectors.
