5 Pounds

Gibraltar's currency status during this period was an administrative oddity — the territory maintained its own pound at parity with sterling, issued under direct government authority rather than through a commercial bank, a setup that persisted well into the twentieth century. De La Rue produced the series in London, as they did for most British dependent territories of the period.

Notes from the earlier dates in this range are considerably scarcer than those from the early 1970s. The 1958 issue in particular saw limited distribution, and high-denomination notes in Gibraltar circulated slowly given the territory's small population and heavy reliance on sterling-denominated transactions with Spain during Franco's partial blockade years.
