| Notes | Poverty Bay promissory note - 1 pound - 186- - serial number 2830 Promissory note issued by Captain GE Read to pay troops engaged in the NZ Wars of that period "Captain G.E. Read - was associated in business with Hon. W.B. Rhodes of Wellington. He was also engaged in trading on the east coast of the North Island, and resided at Te Mawhai, a whaling station near Tokomaru; but about 1840 he settled in the Poverty bay district, from which he kept up a coastal trade - There being a shortage of money in the district in the 'sixties', he issued notes for £1 and £5, the former pink, the latter buff in colour. They were issued in little books, the notes perforated on the left, like cheque-books - The notes were current at Poverty Bay and beyond that district. The Royal Arms being present shows that they were sanctioned by the Government; and indeed the soldiers in the district were paid in these notes." (JC Anderson) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
