| Comments |
Bank of Scotland's move to polymer for this denomination in 2016 aligned with a broader UK-wide shift, though Scottish commercial banks — operating under the note-issuing provisions that predate the Bank of England's own monopoly — made the transition independently and on their own schedules. De La Rue produced the substrate, as they did for much of the Scottish polymer rollout, using their Safeguard technology.
With just over 12 million printed, this is a moderate-run issue. Polymer notes from this transitional period occasionally show stress whitening along fold lines — a known characteristic of early Safeguard issues rather than a sign of damage.
