The Falkland Islands Government began issuing its own currency in 1899, but the early series — of which this note is part — depended entirely on Thomas De La Rue for production, with finished notes shipped from London to Stanley. The P#A3 designation covers a span of issues across several dates between 1913 and 1920, a period when the islands' wool trade was generating enough economic activity to warrant maintaining a local paper currency rather than relying solely on sterling coin.
Surviving examples from this series are genuinely uncommon. The islands' small population, remote location, and limited banking infrastructure meant low print runs and hard use for notes that did circulate.
