Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was itself only formed in 1925, the result of a merger between three colonial banking concerns. A note attributed to that entity and dated 1922 is almost certainly a retroactive catalog classification — the issuing bank at the time of printing would have been one of its predecessor institutions, most likely the Colonial Bank, the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, or the National Bank of South Africa, depending on which territory this note was intended for. The Pick reference and issuer name should be treated with that in mind.
Bradbury, Wilkinson's New Malden facility was the dominant supplier of colonial currency printing for British-affiliated banks throughout the interwar period, handling everything from security paper sourcing to final plate engraving in-house.
