| Opmerkingen |
The British Solomon Islands Protectorate had no chartered bank of its own during this period, so the colonial government stepped in directly as issuer — an arrangement that was common across the smaller Pacific dependencies where the volume of monetary transactions simply didn't justify a full banking infrastructure. These notes circulated in a territory where copra trade and plantation labour accounts made up the bulk of commercial activity.
Pick 2 is genuinely rare. The sixteen-year date span masks what was almost certainly a very limited print run, and attrition in the humid equatorial Pacific was brutal on paper currency.
