Bermuda's 1964 note issue was the last series authorized directly by the Bermuda Government before the Bermuda Monetary Authority took over currency functions in 1969. The £10 was the highest denomination in that final government series, which makes surviving examples less common than the lower values — high-denomination notes in small island economies circulate hard and are rarely set aside.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed from their New Malden works, which handled a substantial proportion of British colonial currency through the 1960s. The watermark remains the principal security feature, as was typical for BW&Co. colonial contracts of this period before more elaborate intaglio security elements became standard across the region.
