2 Dollars Jamaica act

The P#65 series ran through a period of significant monetary pressure for Jamaica — the early 1980s saw the dollar slide sharply against the US dollar under successive IMF adjustment programmes, making even low-denomination notes like this one objects of genuine economic anxiety rather than routine commerce. Jefferson and Barber signed together across the full span of the series, an unusually long joint tenure for a Caribbean central bank pairing.

De La Rue produced the note in London under the standard contractual arrangement that governed most Commonwealth Caribbean currency printing through this decade.
