| Opmerkingen |
The African Banking Corporation was a British colonial bank operating primarily in Southern Africa, eventually absorbed into Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) in 1925 — just five years after this note's issue date. By 1920, the ABC was already in a weakened competitive position, squeezed by the Standard Bank and the newly consolidated National Bank of South Africa. Notes from this final period of independent operation are correspondingly scarce.
The S-prefix in the Pick reference places this firmly in the Specialized catalogue rather than the main sequence, reflecting its status as a commercial bank issue rather than a central authority emission.
