Clydesdale Bank is one of three Scottish banks retaining the legal right to issue their own sterling banknotes — a quirk of the 1845 Bank Notes (Scotland) Act that Westminster has never seen fit to abolish. The notes are not legal tender even in Scotland, but they circulate freely by long-standing convention and must be backed pound-for-pound by Bank of England reserves or coin.
P#229J falls within the Clydesdale's polymer transition period — the bank moved to polymer for its higher denominations in 2015, making this paper issue the last of its format for the £10.
