The Palestine Currency Board was a British colonial instrument, established under the Palestine Currency Order of 1927 to issue a currency tied one-for-one to sterling. The 100 Pound denomination was the highest in the series — far beyond the reach of ordinary daily commerce in Mandatory Palestine — and functioned primarily as a reserve and interbank instrument rather than anything that passed through market hands.
De La Rue's printing for this series is considered among their finer interwar work. Surviving examples are rare; the 1948 collapse of the Mandatory administration and the abrupt withdrawal of Palestinian currency from circulation meant most high-denomination notes were either redeemed through official channels or simply lost in the chaos of partition.
