10 Kina

The kina was introduced in 1975 when Papua New Guinea severed its currency link with the Australian dollar upon independence, and the Bank of Papua New Guinea has managed it domestically ever since — there was no colonial-era central bank to inherit. The P#9 series ran for a full decade, accumulating five distinct signature combinations across that span, which makes it unusually productive for a single Pick number in a relatively young issuing institution.

The 1998 pairing of Vulupindi and Vele is worth noting: Vulupindi had previously signed as governor in the earlier 1988 issues before reappearing in the secretary role a decade later.
