| Opmerkingen |
The Falkland Islands Government first gained statutory authority to issue its own currency under the Falkland Islands Currency Ordinance of 1899, but practical issuance took years to materialize. This note, part of the islands' earliest substantive paper currency series, was produced by De La Rue in London and shipped to Stanley — a logistical reality that made replacement of damaged or worn notes a slow process across the South Atlantic.
The series ran across more than a decade of low-volume issuance, reflecting a tiny population and an economy dominated by the Falkland Islands Company rather than broad cash circulation. Surviving examples in any grade are genuinely scarce.
