Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was a commercial bank issuing private currency across British territories — a practice that had largely died out in the metropolitan UK by this period but persisted in colonial settings where central banking infrastructure lagged behind trade. The DCO arm, formed in 1925 through the merger of three overseas-focused banks, held note-issuing rights in several territories simultaneously, meaning the same Bradbury Wilkinson plate technology underpinned a geographically scattered currency network.
