| Anmerkungen |
The British Solomon Islands Protectorate had no banking infrastructure at all in this period — no commercial bank operated there until the 1950s. These pound notes were issued directly by the colonial government to meet basic administrative and trading needs in a territory where copra was still a more reliable medium of exchange than paper currency among much of the local population.
Pick 3 is genuinely rare. The entire series of government currency notes from this protectorate survives in very small numbers, a consequence of the climate, the limited circulation network, and wartime destruction during the Japanese occupation of the Solomons from 1942 onward — which postdates this issue but consumed much of what remained in government hands.
