Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was itself a creature of consolidation — formed in 1925 through the merger of Colonial Bank, Anglo-Egyptian Bank, and National Bank of South Africa under the Barclays umbrella. This note, issued just a year after that merger, predates any fully standardized house style across the combined network, which makes the early DCO issues transitional objects in the strictest sense.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled security printing for numerous colonial currency authorities during this period, working from their New Malden facility. The P#S104 designation places this in the private commercial bank issues rather than any government series — a distinction that mattered legally in several territories where DCO operated concurrently with Crown currency boards.
