| Comments |
Jamaica's currency remained under British Crown authority until independence in 1962, meaning this 1960 issue was among the last produced before the colony's monetary administration transferred to the newly established Bank of Jamaica. De La Rue had supplied Jamaican notes continuously since the 1920s, and the 10 Shillings denomination occupied a practical middle position in daily commerce — enough for meaningful transactions but not large enough to attract the hoarding that affected higher values.
Pick 46 is frequently found with uneven toning along the folds, a known characteristic of the paper stock used in the final colonial issues.
