| 备注 |
One of the earliest paper issues for the Turks and Caicos Islands, which at the turn of the twentieth century remained a separate Crown Colony — administratively distinct from Jamaica, despite periodic pressure to amalgamate the two. The note predates the formal union with the Bahamas by decades, issued at a moment when the salt-raking industry still underpinned most of the colony's economic activity.
De La Rue's involvement is unsurprising given their near-monopoly on British colonial currency printing at the time. Surviving examples are rare; tiny colonial populations meant limited print runs, and tropical storage conditions have not been kind to the paper.
