备注

Produced under siege conditions during the 217-day Boer investment of Mafeking, these notes were a local improvisation — Baden-Powell authorized their issue in early 1900 when coin supplies ran critically short and the garrison needed a functioning internal economy. The printer, identified in references only as "T. & Son," was operating under active bombardment.

Survival rates are low not because of wartime destruction but because so many were redeemed and treated as souvenirs immediately after the relief on 17 May 1900, leaving circulated examples scarcer than one might expect.
