Commenti	The Bank of New South Wales was the oldest trading bank in Australia, established in 1817, and by 1910 its London-printed notes occupied the upper tier of private colonial and post-Federation banking. Chamier, Gouppy & East — a short-lived successor identity to the better-known Skipper & East firm — handled security printing for several colonial banks during this transitional period, and their work for NSW is among the rarer surviving examples of that house's output. A £100 denomination was a working instrument for pastoral and mercantile transactions, not a curiosity. Few circulated long enough to survive in collectable condition, and the attrition rate on high-value private bank notes of this period was severe — most were redeemed and pulped.
