Nigeria's first government-issued paper currency, authorized under the West African Currency Board framework but issued specifically for Nigeria during the First World War, when the shortage of coin made small-denomination notes a practical necessity. The 1 Shilling was the lowest value in the series, intended to replace the silver coinage that had largely disappeared from circulation — hoarded, exported, or melted as silver prices rose with wartime demand.
Local printing in Lagos was unusual for colonial currency of this period, most of which was produced in Britain. D.S. MacGregor was the Acting Treasurer of Nigeria at the time of signing.
