5 Dollars Barclay's Bank

Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) — the awkward full name reflecting a 1925 merger of three separate colonial banking operations — issued this note during a period when the bank held government banking licenses across more than a dozen territories simultaneously. Bradbury Wilkinson's engraved work for colonial commercial banks in the 1930s was consistently fine, the firm having built much of its reputation on exactly this kind of contract printing for private issuers operating under Crown license.

The Pick S106 designation places it in the specialized commercial bank issues, separate from government or central bank series. Establishing precise territorial attribution for this specific note requires careful attention to the payable-at text and any branch overprint.
