'1 Shilling 1943' Supersize Commemorative Strike

2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the start of World War II involving the vast majority of the world's nations - including all of the great powers. It was the most widespread war in history and involved more than 100 Million people. During the Second World War more banknotes were created and, in order to combat forgery, higher denomination notes were removed from circulation. The British Military Banknotes, issued by the British Military Authority, remind us of the time of the war under King George VI 1936-1952.
