Notes :
By introducing a ’legal tender’ status for issued banknotes, there was no longer a need for them to be redeemable in gold. The opportunity was taken with this change to reduce the size of the note to a more manageable size. Other innovations were the addition of an oval in which the watermark profile of the Prince of Wales was displayed, and another watermark – HALF – behind each signature.
Approximately 21,000,000 of the 1933 reduced size ten shilling note were printed. Variations in the colour of notes of this type occur, from a light brown to a darker chocolate. There are also variations in the background red and green colours.
