The Leeward Islands currency board arrangement was one of the more administratively awkward in the British Caribbean — a single issuing authority covering Antigua, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, Montserrat, Dominica, and the British Virgin Islands simultaneously, each with its own local economy and trade patterns. The 10 Shillings denomination was the workhorse of this series, bridging the gap between coin values and the larger pound notes that most ordinary transactions never reached.
De La Rue printed the series in London, which meant any replacement stock required a transatlantic requisition cycle — slow enough that wartime and interwar shortages created genuine gaps in local supply. Pick 2 is notably scarcer than the 1 Pound from the same issue.
