| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed entirely in purple, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate symmetric guilloche composition of three large interlocking rosette medallions joined by scrollwork borders and lathe-work fillets. The country name is distributed across two cartouches at the left and right flanks, each set within an ornate lozenge surround, with delicate floral arabesques occupying the intervening spaces. |

| Opmerkingen |
British Honduras retained De La Rue for its higher denominations well into the 1920s, and P#17 is among the scarcest of the colonial series — the 1924–1928 window was a low-volume print run serving a small mercantile economy heavily dependent on mahogany and chicle exports, not retail banking. Circulation demand at this value was thin by any measure.
The "Purple" designation distinguishes this from earlier issues in the same denomination where color shifts between printings were significant enough to require catalog differentiation. Known surviving examples are few, and most that surface show handling consistent with commercial rather than banking use.
