Anmerkungen	The Bank of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was itself a short-lived institution, created in 1956 when the Central African Federation replaced the earlier separate colonial currency arrangements, and wound up in 1965 following the Federation's dissolution. This note spans nearly the entire life of that bank. The handover from Grafftey-Smith to Richards in January 1961 is striking in the signature dates — six dated issues crammed into eleven days, suggesting a deliberate effort to exhaust remaining stocks under the outgoing governor before the transition was complete. Bradbury Wilkinson printed from their New Malden works, where high-denomination colonial issues of this period were a core part of the order book.
