About this banknote

This series was introduced in the early 20th century when banks continued to produce notes independently to accommodate regional trade and commerce.
The front of the banknote features the Coat of Arms and intricate floral designs, with a seated woman holding a trident and shield. The design uses blue, red, orange, and yellow, with an orange and red sunburst underprint. The note, printed by Waterlow & Sons, measures 151 x 84 mm, and is recognized as a very scarce collector's item.
