The British Caribbean Territories Currency Board was established in 1951 to provide a unified currency across a group of colonies that would never fully unify politically — the West Indies Federation collapsed in 1962, yet this note series continued circulating until Eastern Caribbean dollar adoption. The Board's notes bridged a monetary arrangement that outlasted the political experiment it was meant to support.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed the series from their New Malden works, a firm better known for postage stamp intaglio than banknote production, though they handled both with equal precision throughout the postwar decades.
