Anmerkungen

The Colonial Bank was a British overseas institution operating across the Caribbean, and by the 1890s its Trinidad branch at Port of Spain was handling a substantial volume of trade finance tied to the sugar and cocoa export economy. American Bank Note Company in New York was the dominant supplier of high-security commercial bank printing for the region at this period — the Colonial Bank used them consistently across its Caribbean branches, which means plate designs were sometimes shared or adapted across territories.

A $100 denomination at this date was a wholesale instrument, not retail currency. Few would have passed through ordinary commercial hands.
