Bermuda's last pound-denominated series before the 1970 decimal changeover to dollars and cents. Bradbury Wilkinson handled the vast majority of British colonial currency in this period, and Bermuda's issues were no exception — the New Malden plant printed for dozens of territories simultaneously, which sometimes makes identifying the precise print run for a specific colony's order difficult without reference to archival records.
The series spans fourteen years, and date attribution matters here: notes from the early 1950s predate Elizabeth II's coronation in June 1953, meaning the earliest issues used a portrait authorized before her accession was formally complete.
