BA International printed just over 20 million of these in the mid-1990s, a run large enough to ensure they circulated heavily and survived in quantity — which keeps collector premiums modest. The Ottawa-based firm, operating under various names across its long history, held the Bahamian contract through several series and brought consistent quality to the work.
Pick 57 is the last signature variety before the series was retired, the specific signing combination being the more useful identifier for type collectors than the date alone.
