Grenada's first government-issued paper money came out of emergency provisions passed across several British Caribbean colonies during and immediately after World War One, when silver coinage became scarce and hoarding made circulation worse. The 2/6 denomination — half a crown in sterling terms — was a practical bridge between coins and higher paper values, chosen because it matched common wage and transaction amounts in the island economy at the time.
De La Rue produced the series, as they did for the vast majority of British colonial currency of this period. Pick 1 is the only note in Grenada's standalone government issue — the colony never developed a larger domestic paper currency series.
