4 Shillings

The Bank of Nassau was the colonial currency authority for the Bahamas, and this denomination — 4 shillings — reflects the awkward arithmetic of pre-decimal sterling in a small island economy where fractional values genuinely mattered for everyday trade. The long issue window of over a decade suggests these were printed in batches as needed rather than in a single run, though the plate design itself remained unchanged throughout.

Charles Skipper & East handled a substantial portion of British colonial note printing during this period, working largely in the shadow of more prominent firms like Bradbury Wilkinson and Perkins Bacon.
