Pick 74 exists in an unusual dual-printer configuration — Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig and Oberthur Fiduciaire in France both produced notes for this series, a split-contract arrangement the Central Bank of the Bahamas used to ensure supply continuity. The two printings are distinguishable to specialists but were circulated interchangeably.
The engraver credit to W. Craigg appears in the plate design itself, a relatively rare instance of individual attribution on a Caribbean note of this period.
