Anmerkungen

The 1973 Jamaica 2 Dollar note was part of the Bank of Jamaica's first fully decimalized series, introduced following the switch from pounds to dollars in 1969. This particular issue carries the FAO overprint — Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations — placing it in a broader series of commemorative circulating notes produced globally during the FAO's campaign to promote agricultural development and food security awareness through everyday currency.

Thomas De La Rue printed the underlying series, as they had handled Jamaican currency since independence in 1962. The FAO designation was applied as an overprint rather than a redesign, which is why the base note predates the stamp by several years.
