Description

Five Pounds Harvey White note B209a dated 31st October 1922 serial number C/29 86193 LONDON branch issue EF very minor rust and Exceptionally Scarce note now almost a century old. Sir Ernest Musgrave Harvey was the 17th Chief Cashier which he became on the 6th May 1918 just as the end of World War I was approaching. The inflation caused during the war meant that demand for banknotes increased during Mr Harvey's time in office. Sir Harvey was knighted in 1920 and created a Baronet in 1933, among his other honours which were the CBE, Chavlier of the Legion of Honour and Chavlier of Leopold of Belgium.
