The Anglo-Palestine Bank Limited was not a central bank — it was a commercial institution, incorporated in London in 1902 as a subsidiary of the Jewish Colonial Trust. Its authority to issue currency in Mandatory Palestine came from the British administration, and when the State of Israel was declared in May 1948, the bank continued issuing notes under its own name until the Bank of Israel was established. This note bridges that transitional moment directly.
The American Bank Note Company contract was a deliberate security choice — wartime disruption had made European printers less reliable, and ABNC's New York facility had long handled high-security work for governments without functioning central banks.
