| Opmerkingen |
Gibraltar's wartime and postwar currency arrangements were complicated by the territory's dual role as both a civilian colony and a critical naval base. This series spanned the Second World War entire — notes issued in 1938 were still nominally current two decades later, an unusually long lifespan that reflects how slowly monetary infrastructure moved in a small garrison territory with limited public banking.
De La Rue's production for Gibraltar during the war years was interrupted and redirected repeatedly; some colonial issues of this period were printed under contingency arrangements, with stocks held in London rather than shipped immediately to avoid interception.
