The Collector Series was a deliberate departure from normal issue practice — the Bank of Jamaica released these notes specifically for numismatic sale rather than general circulation, a policy choice that became more common among Caribbean central banks in the 1970s as souvenir revenue grew into a meaningful line item. De La Rue produced the series in London to the same technical standards as circulating issues, which makes distinguishing collector printings from contemporaneous circulation stock a matter of documentation rather than physical examination.
P#CS1 designates the 10-dollar denomination within this set, issued across a two-year window that overlapped with Jamaica's period of acute foreign exchange pressure under the Manley government's IMF negotiations.
