Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was itself a recent creation when this note was issued — the DCO entity had only been constituted in 1925 through the merger of Colonial Bank, Anglo-Egyptian Bank, and the National Bank of South Africa. This 5 Dollar note is consequently one of the earliest instruments issued under that consolidated name, and the dollar denomination places it firmly in one of the Caribbean territories, most likely the British West Indies, where dollar-denominated Barclays branches operated.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility handled security printing for a wide range of colonial banking clients during this period, and their intaglio work on private bank issues of the 1920s is generally of high quality. Pick S101 is scarce in any grade.
