| Anmerkungen |
The Natal Bank Limited was incorporated in 1854 and operated as one of the principal commercial banks serving the Colony of Natal through the turbulent years of the Anglo-Boer War and its aftermath. By 1903, the bank was handling reconstruction finance across a region still absorbing the consequences of wartime disruption to trade and agriculture.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced notes of consistently high intaglio quality, and the £20 denomination would have seen extremely limited circulation — a sum equivalent to several months' wages for most colonial workers. High-value notes of this type frequently survived in better condition simply because fewer hands touched them, though the Natal Bank itself was absorbed into the National Bank of South Africa in 1914, at which point remaining stocks were called in.
Surviving examples of P#S465D are genuinely scarce.
