Notes : Approximately 20,338,000 five pound notes were printed between 1933 and 1939 featuring the Riddle/Sheehan signature combination. Cross-hatching with red and green ink on approximately half of the notes produced a ’pink’ effect on the King's face. On the remainder, lack of cross-hatching left the King's face white.
