Opmerkingen	Bradbury Wilkinson produced this note for the Bank of Afghanistan during a period when Kabul was actively modernizing its financial institutions under Nadir Shah's reforms — reforms that his son Zahir Shah continued after the 1933 assassination. The relationship between Afghanistan and British printing houses was largely pragmatic: domestic printing infrastructure simply didn't exist at the required security level, so London supplied the notes for a country that was simultaneously trying to maintain independence from British political influence. Pick 27A is the rarer of the two catalogue variants for this type. Worth verifying the signature combination carefully before attributing.
