| Anmerkungen |
The British War Department issued a range of low-denomination notes during 1943–44 for use in military canteens and NAAFI (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) establishments, keeping service pay circulating within controlled environments rather than bleeding into local civilian economies — particularly relevant wherever troops were stationed in occupied or sensitive territories. The 6 Pence sits at the bottom of that series, functionally closer to a token than conventional currency.
These notes were never intended to survive the war. Redemption and destruction were built into the scheme from the outset, which makes intact survivors more common in collector holdings than in any documented circulation story.
