| Opmerkingen |
British Honduras maintained a dollar-based currency system separate from the broader Caribbean sterling zone, and these notes issued by the colonial government rather than a chartered bank reflect that administrative peculiarity. De La Rue held the printing contract for British Honduras through much of the early twentieth century, producing notes that circulated in an economy overwhelmingly dependent on the mahogany trade and, increasingly, chicle exports to American chewing gum manufacturers.
P#14 spans a four-year window that straddles a period of significant labor unrest in the colony, much of it driven by returning veterans of the First World War who had been promised improved conditions that never materialized.
