Pick 70 is a continuation of the long-running Bahamian dollar series that De La Rue has supplied since the Central Bank's earliest issues. The 2002 date places this note in the period following the shift away from the Queen's Silver Jubilee-era designs, though the fundamental security specification — watermark and embedded thread — remained unchanged from the preceding series. Nothing dramatic surrounds this particular issue; the Bahamian dollar held its one-to-one peg with the US dollar throughout, so there was no monetary pressure driving a redesign.
De La Rue's London plant handled both printing and security feature integration, which was not always the case for Caribbean territories of this period.
