Description from the seller
This image contains six old banknotes featuring the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. They were issued by the United Kingdom and former British territories, forming a classic banknote collection of the British Commonwealth. Let’s break down each note by position:
Top Left: Bank of England £1 (Series D £1 note)
Issuer: Bank of England Front design: Britannia. This is the famous black £1 banknote, nicknamed the "Black One Pound". Signed by L.K. O'Brien, issued in the 1960s and no longer legal tender. Feature: Banknote for mainland Britain, printed with the historic promise "I promise to pay the bearer on demand".
Top Right: Central Bank of the Bahamas $1
Issuer: The Central Bank of The Bahamas (a Commonwealth island nation) Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the front, 1974 edition, decorated with tropical seaweed. It was currency from the early period after the Bahamas gained independence.
Middle Left: Bank of England £5 (Series D £5 note)
Bank of England £5 note, Queen’s portrait plus Saint George slaying the dragon. Issued in the 1970s, this old British £5 paper note is no longer in circulation.
Middle Right: East Caribbean Currency Authority $1
Issuer: East Caribbean Currency Authority, East Caribbean Dollar 1965 red edition, printed with maps and marine life. This currency was shared by multiple Eastern Caribbean island nations (Antigua, St. Kitts and others).
Bottom Left: Fiji $2
Fiji (a Pacific Commonwealth island nation) 2-dollar banknote, Queen Elizabeth II portrait and Fiji’s national emblem, version from the 1960s–1970s.
Bottom Right: Malaya and British Borneo $1 (Great historical significance)
Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo Dated 21 March 1953. This currency was used jointly by Malaya, Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore before their independence. This banknote records the late colonial history of Southeast Asia and is a popular collectible among numismatists. It circulated in Singapore, Malaya and Borneo (today’s East Malaysia) at that time.
