备注	Gibraltar's wartime currency emergency produced a handful of fractional issues that most British colonial administrators considered a stopgap nuisance. The 1914 series was authorised under emergency provisions after the outbreak of WWI disrupted normal coin supplies — silver hoarding hit Gibraltar hard given its position as a major transit port, and small change effectively vanished from circulation within weeks of the war's declaration. The embossed seal was the primary safeguard, which by later standards looks threadbare, but counterfeiting fractional notes of a fortress colony with limited civilian population was never a serious commercial proposition.
