The "horizontal bar" variety distinguishes notes from this series where an overprinted bar obscures earlier signature or dating information — a modification applied to extend the usable life of a printing rather than commission an entirely new issue. It's an administrative economy measure, not uncommon for De La Rue-printed Caribbean issues of this period.
Pick 69 spans nearly a decade of issue, during which Jamaica weathered severe IMF-mandated austerity programs and a sharp depreciation of the Jamaican dollar. By the early 1990s the 2-dollar note was worth a fraction of its 1985 purchasing power — a denomination that inflation was steadily rendering irrelevant before the series ended.
