British Ten Shilling Note
The British ten shilling (10/-) note was introduced in 1928 the predominant colour being a red-brown on the obverse it had a vignette of a seated Britannia.
During the years of the Second World War the colour was changed to mauve and a security thread was used for the first time.
The early BoE notes did not have the date of issuance so the date of issue can only be made by identifying the signature of the chief cashier and the series letter.
In this case the Chief Cashier was Kenneth Pepiatt whose tenure ran from 1934 to 1949. So given the note’s mauve colour, the signature makes it possible to say that this note was issued between 1939 and 1949.
The ten shilling note was withdrawn late in 1970 following the introduction of the 50 pence coin in October 1969 in readiness for decimalisation on February 15th 1971.
