| 正面描述 | Green and brown bicolour note printed on a fine guilloche underprint, with a portrait of King George V at right and a standing vignette of Britannia at left. Letterpress legends traverse the face, including the fractional denomination expressed as "10/-" and the full title of the issuing authority. Serial number varieties are recorded for this type. |

| 背面描述 | Uniface green reverse centred on a large oval guilloche medallion enclosed within a continuous rosette lace border, through which the numeral "10" frames the denomination legend "TEN SHILLINGS" in bold capital letters. Symmetrical scrollwork flourishes extend laterally from the medallion, and the entire field is filled with intricate engine-turned lathe work characteristic of early twentieth-century British currency printing. |

The Treasury note series of which this is part came into being as a wartime emergency measure in August 1914, when the government feared a run on Bank of England gold reserves would cripple the war effort before it started. Treasury notes bypassed the Bank entirely and were issued directly by HM Treasury under the Currency and Bank Notes Act — an arrangement that persisted well past the Armistice and wasn't formally wound up until the Currency and Bank Notes Act of 1928 folded the series back into the Bank.
MacKennal was a sculptor by primary training — an Australian who executed the effigy of George V used on coinage across the Empire. His involvement here reflects how the Treasury drew on established royal portraiture rather than commissioning original banknote work.
The 3rd series introduced subtle security refinements over its predecessors, including changes to the silk thread composition in the paper stock.
