Jamaica gained independence in August 1962, but the Bank of Jamaica wasn't established until May 1961 and didn't issue its own currency until 1964 — the "L.1960" date on this note refers to the Bank of Jamaica Act rather than the printing year, a legal fiction that anchored subsequent issues to the founding legislation regardless of when they actually entered circulation. The 1970 issues of this series are distinguished by two white numerals in the serial number prefix, a detail that helps differentiate them from earlier printings within the same Pick type.
De La Rue handled the full production run from London throughout this period.
