Bermuda's first George VI pound note, issued in 1937 following the accession after Edward VIII's brief reign and abdication. Bradbury, Wilkinson produced the plate work in New Malden — their engraved output for British colonial territories during this period was meticulous, and Bermuda's small circulation volumes meant individual printings were modest by any standard.
The "date at bottom" designation distinguishes this type from later layout variants within the P#11 family. Notes from this first year of the George VI series are genuinely harder to locate than subsequent wartime issues.
