The Commonwealth Bank's Note Printing Branch at Fitzroy in Melbourne had been producing Australian notes since 1920, taking over from the Treasury Note issue and establishing domestic production as a matter of deliberate policy. By the mid-1930s the operation was well-established, and this series reflects that maturity — the printing quality is consistent and the paper stable, though notes from this period frequently show corner folds from heavy till use, as the one-pound denomination was the workhorse of everyday retail transactions.

Pick 24c sits within a long-running type; distinguishing the signature varieties requires attention to the specific Governor and Secretary combinations authorised under the Commonwealth Bank Act amendments of the period.
