| Opmerkingen |
The East African Currency Board's 1000 Shillings denomination — equivalent to £50 sterling at the fixed parity — was prepared in 1939 but never formally released into circulation. Notes at this value were intended primarily for interbank settlements and large government transactions rather than public use, which made them viable candidates for withdrawal before issue when wartime conditions complicated distribution across the territory.
De La Rue printed the series but surviving specimens are rare precisely because non-issued stock was typically destroyed rather than retained.
