The Treasury's decision to issue its own currency notes in 1914 — bypassing the Bank of England entirely — was an emergency measure, rushed through Parliament in a single day at the outbreak of war. The first series of 10 Shilling notes were printed so hastily that quality control suffered badly, and the 1915 second series was partly a corrective exercise.
George Eve, better known as a seal engraver to the Crown, brought a level of craft unusual for wartime emergency paper. The notes were signed by John Bradbury, then Permanent Secretary to the Treasury — giving this entire family of issues the lasting nickname "Bradburys" that collectors still use.
