| Comments |
Malta remained a British Crown Colony throughout this note's entire issue period, and the Government of Malta — rather than a central bank — served as the direct issuing authority, a colonial administrative arrangement that persisted until independence in 1964. De La Rue produced the series in London under contract, a routine assignment for a printer that handled much of Britain's colonial currency output during the postwar decade.
The eight-year date span reflects reissue across multiple years rather than a single print run, though distinguishing individual printings requires close attention to signature combinations from the Financial Secretary's office.
