| Reverse description | The centre of the note is dominated by a large circular guilloche underprint with the inscription THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN TERRITORIES running diagonally across it. Four circular vignettes occupy the corners, each bearing the coat of arms of a member territory: Barbados at upper centre, Windward Islands at upper right, Trinidad and Tobago at lower right, and British Guiana at lower left, with Leeward Islands at left centre. The whole design is executed in a single blue intaglio printing with intricate lathe-work borders. |
