| Rückseitenbeschreibung | A large central vignette in reddish-brown intaglio presents a panoramic view of Victoria Falls, with tall trees framing the scene on either side and the cascading waters rendered in fine line engraving. A circular medallion to the left repeats the falls motif at smaller scale, while an ornate cartouche occupies the right panel. The denomination appears at lower centre and in numerals at the corners, all within a border of guilloche patterning. |

The Southern Rhodesia Currency Board was a passive issuing authority — it held sterling reserves and issued notes in fixed exchange, with no power to conduct monetary policy. That arrangement suited the colonial framework but left the territory entirely exposed to decisions made in London. By 1955, the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland had already been constituted for two years, yet Southern Rhodesia continued issuing its own board notes in parallel, a transitional overlap that makes precise attribution of late series notes worth noting.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed this series on relatively thin paper, and the single watermark security feature reflects the modest specification common to smaller colonial denominations of the period. Pinhole cancellations are frequently encountered on surviving examples.
