The Western Australian Bank was one of the colony's earliest chartered institutions, founded in 1841, but by 1910 it was operating in an increasingly hostile environment — the Commonwealth Bank Act had passed, and the private trading banks understood their note-issuing days were numbered. This high-denomination note would have seen almost no retail circulation; £10 was roughly two months' wages for a laborer, and notes of this value moved between merchants, pastoralists, and bank branches rather than across shop counters.
Bradbury, Wilkinson engraved and printed the series from their New Malden works. The Western Australian Bank was absorbed by the Bank of New South Wales in 1927, after which surviving unissued stock was almost certainly destroyed. Issued examples at this denomination are genuinely rare.
