2 Dollars Collector series, Coronation

The Bank of Jamaica issued this collector note in 1978 to mark the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation — an unusual choice for a Caribbean central bank in the late 1970s, given Jamaica's republican leanings and the broader regional drift away from Commonwealth ceremonialism at the time. It was never intended for circulation, sold directly to collectors as a packaged souvenir issue.

De La Rue handled the printing, as they did for most of Jamaica's regular series through this period. The CS3 designation places it firmly in the Bank's collector series line, distinct from the contemporaneous circulating 2 Dollar notes sharing the same denomination.
