Comments

Bradbury Wilkinson closed its New Malden operation in 1990, the same year Namibia achieved independence from South African administration. This note was prepared for a currency unit — the Kalahar — that was never formally adopted. Independent Namibia ultimately retained the South African Rand until 1993, when the Namibian Dollar was introduced, rendering the Kalahar series obsolete before a single note entered circulation.

P#C1 designation marks it as a rejected proposal series. BW's final production year makes this an inadvertent footnote to the printer's own history.
