British Armed Forces Special Vouchers — universally called BAFSVs — were introduced in 1946 specifically to prevent sterling from leaking into local economies in occupied territories and British garrison zones. Troops were paid in vouchers redeemable only at NAAFI canteens and authorised military establishments, making black-market currency conversion considerably harder. The scheme also gave authorities the ability to declare existing vouchers void and reissue a new series at short notice, effectively neutralising any stockpiles that had already escaped into civilian hands.
De La Rue printed the 1st series under tight security. The small denomination saw heavy canteen use and surviving examples in clean condition are genuinely uncommon.
