| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Adelaide was one of South Australia's oldest private trading banks, established in 1865. By 1910, the private banknote-issuing era in Australia was already in terminal decline — the Commonwealth Bank Act of 1911 would soon reshape the issuing landscape, and the trading banks' circulation rights were progressively curtailed through the following decades. A £20 denomination was a high-value instrument in circulation terms, intended for commercial and interbank settlement rather than everyday trade.
Perforated cancellation on surviving examples typically indicates official withdrawal from circulation rather than destruction, which is how most specimens reached collectors.
