| Anmerkungen |
The African Banking Corporation was a British overseas bank operating across southern Africa, and its Durban branch notes occupy a strange niche — legally valid instruments in the Colony of Natal during a period when no single authority had fully rationalized the colonial currency. Bradbury Wilkinson, by the 1890s, was producing some of the most technically sophisticated intaglio work available to commercial banking clients, and a 100 Pound denomination suggests this note was almost entirely a commercial and trade instrument rather than anything passing through ordinary hands.
The "189x" dating format means the final digit was completed by hand at issue — a common enough practice, but one that complicates precise dating today. Surviving examples of this denomination are exceptionally rare.
