备注	Gibraltar's wartime emergency issues of 1914 were authorized under emergency powers almost immediately after the outbreak of hostilities, as the disruption to shipping and banking channels created an acute shortage of currency on the Rock. The British government's preoccupation with the European theater left colonial administrations to improvise locally, and Gibraltar was among the first Crown territories to respond with a paper issue rather than wait for London to act. At the £50 denomination, actual circulation was always limited — this was a high-value instrument in a small garrison economy. Surviving examples are genuinely uncommon.
