Wartime 10 shillings

During the Second World War, the Bank of England changed the colour of its 10 shillings and £1 notes in an effort to thwart counterfeiters. The green £1 was printed in blue and pink while the 10 shillings note went from red brown to mauve.

We are pleased to offer examples of the Mauve Wartime 10 shillings to suit every pocket (B251) As the years have passed, these notes have become more and more difficult to find in choice condition.
