Commenti	The East Caribbean Currency Authority was established in 1965 to replace the British Caribbean Currency Board, and this note belongs to the transitional first series issued under that new authority — one covering eight territories simultaneously, from Barbados to British Honduras. A single circulating currency across jurisdictions that had no shared political structure was always a fragile arrangement, and sure enough, Barbados and British Guiana had both withdrawn by 1972. Thomas De La Rue handled the full series, as they had for the preceding Board issues. Continuity of printer did not mean continuity of territory: the notes circulated across islands with divergent economic conditions, which left surviving examples in wildly uneven states depending on which island absorbed the heaviest use.
