| Comments |
The Clydesdale and North of Scotland Bank was itself a product of a 1950 merger between Clydesdale Bank and the North of Scotland Bank — meaning this series was issued under a name that existed for barely over a decade before the institution reverted to plain "Clydesdale Bank" in 1963. Notes from the early part of this window are scarcer; the merger generated administrative disruption that slowed issuance through 1951 and into 1952.
De La Rue produced the series in London, which was standard practice for Scottish chartered banks well into the postwar period despite Scotland's own printing infrastructure.
