Banknote (back), Twenty shillings, issued by Perth Banking Company

This is the back of a twenty shillings banknote issued by the Perth Banking Company on 2 February 1838. The note was printed from steel plates, engraved by Kirkwood & Son of Edinburgh.

In 1850, in an attempt to prevent increased incidences of forgery, the Perth Banking Company introduced new attractive steel engraving plates, designed by W H Lizars of Edinburgh.
