| Opmerkingen |
Bradbury, Wilkinson produced this note at their New Malden works under the strict security printing contracts that governed all British colonial currency of the period. The 1937 date places it in the very first year of the series — Bermuda had issued no local government paper in denominations this small before; prior to the 1930s, the islands relied almost entirely on sterling coinage and bank drafts for everyday transactions.
Wartime use hit these notes hard. Bermuda's role as a major transatlantic transit point after 1939 accelerated circulation considerably, and surviving examples in clean condition are scarcer than the print run alone would suggest.
