| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Africa was a British-registered institution operating in southern Africa from the 1870s, with its Johannesburg branch becoming increasingly significant after the Witwatersrand gold rush transformed the Transvaal economy from 1886 onward. A 10 Pound denomination was a substantial instrument — not retail currency but a note moving between merchants, mining houses, and commercial agents.
Waterlow & Sons had deep experience printing notes for colonial and quasi-colonial banking operations across Africa and Asia. The long issue span — over three decades — means considerable variation in signatories and branch endorsements likely exists across surviving examples.
