| 正面铭文 | ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE CURRENCY NOTE ORDINANCE 1934. FIVE POUNDS CURRENCY NOTES ARE LEGAL TENDER IN GIBRALTAR FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNT. GIBRALTAR FIVE FINANCIAL SECRETARY. |
| 背面描述 | The reverse is printed in a single brown tone and dominated by an elaborate symmetrical guilloche pattern of four large rosette medallions surrounding a central circular vignette bearing the Gibraltar coat of arms — a castle with a key below — enclosed within a fine lathe-work frame. The motto scroll beneath the shield reads MONTIS INSIGNIA CALPE, and the denomination appears in a rectangular panel at the foot of the design. Stylised pound sterling numerals occupy the left and right flanking positions. |

Gibraltar's prewar note-issuing framework operated under the Currency Notes Ordinance of 1934, which transferred issue responsibility from London directly to the local government — a shift with real practical consequences when the colony was evacuated during World War II. The civilian population was dispersed across Britain, Northern Ireland, and elsewhere from 1940 onward, and the currency administration continued functioning through that dislocation for nearly the entire war.
Waterlow & Sons printed this series, as they did much of Britain's colonial paper at the time. The long date range — two decades — reflects continuity of design rather than continuous printing runs; individual printings within the series can sometimes be distinguished by serial prefix blocks.
