| Comments |
The "large dotted numeral" designation distinguishes this from earlier 2-dollar printings in the same series — a plate modification by De La Rue rather than a new issue, which is why the Pick number remains within the 54 family. The white windmill element is part of the see-through register, a split design across both faces of the sheet that only resolves into a complete image when held to light.
Barbados retained De La Rue continuously through its post-independence note program, and the 1998 dating places this squarely in the pre-decimal-reform period before any structural changes to the series.
