| Comments |
Queensland was one of the last Australian colonies — by then a state — to issue its own government treasury notes. The Commonwealth Bank Act of 1911 would soon bring federal note issue under central control, making this series extremely short-lived. Notes issued under the Queensland Treasury Note Act of 1910 were essentially a stopgap, circulating only briefly before being withdrawn as Commonwealth notes took over from 1913 onward.
The Pick A127 designation reflects genuine catalogue uncertainty about this issue — documentation on exact print runs and redemption quantities remains incomplete, and surviving examples are correspondingly rare.
