5 Dollars Barclay's Bank

Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was the product of a 1925 amalgamation that absorbed Colonial Bank, the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, and the National Bank of South Africa — a deliberate consolidation designed to give Barclays a single, coordinated presence across British territories. The DC&O division issued its own notes across multiple dependencies, with designs and denominations tailored by region. Bradbury Wilkinson printed for a long roster of colonial currency authorities throughout this period, and their work for Barclays was consistent with that output.

P#106A belongs to a series that would be overtaken by wartime currency controls and the gradual post-war transition toward government-issued legal tender across former colonial territories.
