Anmerkungen	Cyprus remained under British administration throughout this note's production window, and the Shilling denomination reflected the island's integration into a sterling-based monetary system — not a local tradition. Bradbury Wilkinson, one of the more technically accomplished security printers of the mid-century, produced the guilloche underprint work here to a standard consistent with their Colonial Office contracts of the period. The eight-year date span across this series reflects wartime disruption to print scheduling rather than any policy revision. Notes from the earlier end of the range are noticeably scarcer.
