Notes:

This note, designed and printed by Thomas S. Harrison, is longer and narrower than earlier issues. It was introduced to improve production efficiency by allowing 6 notes instead of 4 to be printed on each sheet. The reverse design of wheat carting at Narwonah was retained

Approximately 3,610,000 ten pound notes were printed between 1925 and 1934 with George V featured on the front.
