| Opmerkingen |
The British Military Authority notes were produced to give Allied occupation forces a distinct currency — partly to control local economies, partly to prevent military pay from draining civilian coin supplies. The BMA series circulated across multiple territories simultaneously: Malta, Cyprus, Palestine, Tripolitania, and parts of the Middle East all saw these notes pass through, which creates genuine attribution headaches for collectors trying to pin down where a specific example was used.
Printing was handled by Bradbury Wilkinson. The 1 Shilling is the lowest denomination in the series and consequently saw the heaviest use — survivors in collectible condition are proportionally rarer than the higher values.
