The Commercial Bank of Australia Limited was absorbed into the National Bank of Australasia in 1981, but by 1926 it was already one of the older surviving colonial-era trading banks, having operated since 1866. Australian private banknote issue was on borrowed time during these years — the Commonwealth Bank had held a monopoly on new note issue since 1911, and trading banks were restricted to circulating only notes they had outstanding before that cutoff. This series therefore represents the tail end of a contracting pool of legitimately circulating private paper.
Waterlow & Sons printed the series in London, as they did for numerous British colonial and dominion banking clients throughout this period.
