| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in a warm ochre-brown tone and consists entirely of an elaborate engine-turned guilloche design, with a large central oval medallion composed of interlocking lathe-work rosettes and foliate arabesques. Acanthus scrollwork and stylised floral motifs radiate outward to the corners, filling the entire field in a symmetrical, ornamental pattern with no text or pictorial vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
The 1938 issue marked the first substantive redesign of Falkland Islands government notes since the early colonial series, arriving just as the islands were being drawn into the logistical orbit of the Second World War — Stanley became a supply and communication hub almost immediately after the 1939 outbreak. Stewart signed as Colonial Treasurer, a post that carried real fiscal weight in a territory whose economy ran almost entirely on wool and shipping fees.
De La Rue produced the series under wartime printing pressures, which affected paper quality and supply scheduling across their entire colonial note portfolio in this period.
