Some catalogues include these stamps under the 1982 Definitives issue.



The stamps overprinted 'SPECIMEN' originate from a special presentation pack issued and sold by New Zealand Post on the 19th of April 1989. The stamps were not valid for postage, obviously, and all proceeds were donated to New Zealand's first World Stamp Exhibition which was held in Auckland from the 24th of August to the 2nd of September 1990.
