Bradbury Wilkinson printed this series for Afghanistan through the late 1940s and into the 1950s, a period when the central bank was still consolidating its authority over a currency system that had only recently displaced older forms of regional exchange. The relationship between Kabul and London-based security printers was typical of the period — many smaller issuing authorities lacked domestic intaglio infrastructure and contracted out entirely.
Pick 30 spans nearly a decade of issue dates, and specimens with early dates within the range tend to be harder to source than later ones. The watermark is the sole security feature — no thread, no serial number variety of note.
