| Comments |
Bradbury Wilkinson printed this note at their New Malden works, a firm that handled a substantial share of British colonial and post-independence currency work before being absorbed into De La Rue in 1990. The 2020 reprint — distinguished by the "S" prefix added to the serial number — extended the series more than half a century after its original issue, an unusually long run for a denomination of this size.
The prefix distinction is the only reliable field marker between the two printings.
