These are internal "giants" — non-negotiable instruments used by the Bank of England to back Scottish and Northern Irish banknote issues. Commercial banks in those regions are legally permitted to issue their own notes only when they hold an equivalent face value of Bank of England paper in reserve. The giants, along with the 100-million-pound "titans," fulfill that backing requirement.
They never entered public circulation and were never intended to. A handful have been sold at auction after being officially withdrawn, which is the only route by which one reaches private hands.
