sorry I'm not better on the computer but picture sending isn't a strong spot
its on ever note, Numista site says its "Authorised By" but there is not much more of a explanation of its meaning,
Hoping some one out there can shed some light on this.

I see it now, it is in script, never noticed it before. The 1920 and 1923 shinplasters also have this is small
lettering but reads “ Authorized by R.S.C. CAP.31”.
Not sure of the meaning, maybe someone else can help.

Authorized by 31Vict. Cap.46
=
Authorized by Act of Parliament, Chapter 46, in the 31st year of the reign of Victoria


R.S.C. Cap31 will be the same sort of thing.
