The Bank of England, which is now the central bank of the United Kingdom, British Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories, has issued banknotes since 1694. In 1921 the Bank of England gained a legal monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales, a process that started with the Bank Charter Act 1844, when the ability of other banks to issue notes was restricted.
Until 1970 the lineup of banknotes included the 10 shilling note, which was one of the most commonly used notes, while the value of that note was half of one pound, it was never referred to as a "half pound" note. Some colonial currency boards issued 5 shilling, 2 shilling and 6 pence, 2 shilling and even 1 shilling notes.
