British Armed Forces Special Vouchers — universally called BAFSVs — were a deliberate instrument of currency control, not simply a substitute for sterling. Troops stationed in West Germany, Cyprus, and elsewhere were paid in vouchers specifically to prevent sterling from being spent into local economies or exchanged on black markets, a persistent problem in occupied and garrison territories since the late 1940s. The 4th series replaced the 3rd in 1962 and ran until 1972.
The 6 Pence is the smallest denomination in the series, and its survival rate in collectible condition is disproportionately low — small-denomination vouchers circulated hard through NAAFI canteens and were rarely retained.
