| Anmerkungen |
The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited operated branches throughout southern Africa in the late nineteenth century, and its Rhodesian branches — including Salisbury — issued notes under their own authority rather than drawing on a centralized colonial currency. This 10 Pounds note from Salisbury predates any government-issued currency for the territory by years; Rhodesia had no central bank and no official paper money until well into the twentieth century, leaving the commercial banks to fill that role entirely.
High-denomination commercial bank notes of this period rarely circulated widely. Ten pounds was a substantial sum, and these moved primarily between merchants, mining companies, and land agents.
