The Turks and Caicos Islands were under direct British Colonial Office administration in 1903, having been annexed to the Bahamas in 1874 and then transferred to the Jamaica colony in 1900. This note was issued just three years into that Jamaican administrative arrangement — an awkward jurisdictional moment that the colonial treasury apparently resolved by commissioning De La Rue independently rather than routing through Kingston.
P#2 is scarce. The islands' tiny population and limited commercial activity meant small print runs, and the humid Caribbean climate has not been kind to survivors.
