Some comments

 * I think the biggest problem is there is no lede to the article, see WP:LEDE. Thus, the reader is plunged into the minutiae of things much too quickly. The lede is a useful summary, that can quickly brief the reader.
 * Another issue is the lack of any history on how these notes came to be. Was there a time when such banknotes had to be backed by gold, and then that changed (around 1914 I would guess) with banknotes used instead becoming greater in denomination with time?
 * You should give a date for the webpages used as sources where that is mentioned on the page.
 * I'll keep making more comments as things develop.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:16, 12 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback Wehwalt! I've since acted on the 1st (lede) and 3rd (source dates) bullet points and also submitted the article to be featured as a DYK, however, in terms of the 2nd bullet point, I can't seem to find a site that gives any history on the backing of these notes or how they came to be. In the meantime I'll keep searching. --TheBestEditorInEngland (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, I will give the article another look whenever you're ready. And I'll see if I can find anything about it--Wehwalt (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
