A wikimedia page on these badges has appeared recently. It expands on the background of the badges somewhat.

Found another Scottish banknote brooch. This one is in quite good grade.

National Bank of Scotland One Pound 1879.

Having read the article in the June edition of Coin News which asked for info on these enamel badges my one of a National Bank of Scotland £1 note has MADE IN FRANCE stamped on the back removing all doubt about their country of manufacture.

That's very interesting, as the other National Bank of Scotland badges I have seen have no such imprint!

Could you post an image of the front of the badge also please.
