The P63A is part of the commemorative issue marking the new millennium, a somewhat awkward exercise for a central bank that had to decide whether to print a genuinely distinct note or simply add a date suffix to existing stock. Barbados chose the former — the millennium series carried updated security specifications and a new prefix sequence, though it circulated alongside the regular-issue notes without any formal withdrawal of the prior series.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement with Barbadian currency dates back to before independence in 1966, and the relationship has remained essentially unbroken since.
