The Bank of New South Wales was the oldest trading bank in Australia, established in 1817, and by 1910 was still issuing its own notes under the authority granted before Federation — a situation that persisted until the Australian Notes Act of 1910 effectively ended private banknote issue by imposing a ten-percent tax on all non-Commonwealth paper currency. This note was issued right at that inflection point.
High-denomination private bank notes of this period are rare survivors. Most were redeemed promptly once the Commonwealth monopoly took hold, and the £20 face value meant few were held as souvenirs.
