The Bahamas Government issued this note under the authority of the Currency Note Act, with Waterlow & Sons handling production — a firm that dominated colonial currency printing for British dependencies throughout the interwar period. The 1930 date places this squarely in the depths of the global depression, when tourist revenue had collapsed and the colony's sponge-fishing industry was already in structural decline following the disastrous hurricane of 1929.
P#7 is genuinely scarce. Surviving examples in any usable grade are rarely offered; the colony's small population meant low print runs, and paper deteriorates quickly in the Bahamian climate.
