| Opmerkingen |
British Honduras in 1895 was a Crown Colony with a modest timber and chicle economy — issuing a 100 Dollar note at that scale required serious justification. High-denomination government notes of this period in the region were almost entirely instruments of interbank settlement and government account transfers, not retail commerce. The colonial dollar was pegged to the Mexican silver dollar and subject to considerable volatility in the 1890s as silver depreciated internationally.
De La Rue's involvement is no surprise — they held a near-monopoly on British colonial currency printing by this period. The TBB#112 designation places this among the earliest documented issues for the territory. Surviving examples are exceptionally rare; the combination of low print run, high face value, and the likely destruction of unredeemed notes means most known specimens come from archival or proof sources rather than circulation.
