| Comments |
The P#45 series was introduced as part of Barbados's broader late-1980s and early-1990s banknote redesign, which saw the island move away from the wildlife-focused imagery of earlier issues. By the time this note entered circulation, Barbados had already operated the Barbados dollar under a fixed peg to the US dollar — at BDS$2.00 to US$1.00 — for over two decades, a rate established in 1975 and still maintained today. That stability is why high-denomination Barbadian notes rarely show the distress patterns common to notes from peg-volatile economies.
C. M. Springer served as Governor of the Central Bank during a period of relative fiscal conservatism. De La Rue's security thread on this issue is embedded rather than windowed.
