The Bahamas Government's pre-decimal currency included a 4 Shilling denomination that had no equivalent anywhere in the British Empire — it existed solely to represent one-fifth of a Bahamian pound, a local accounting convenience rather than any imperial standard. Waterlow & Sons printed the series for several colonial territories during this period, and the Bahamas issues are among the rarer commissions, reflecting the colony's small population and limited note demand.
Pick 5 is genuinely scarce. Surviving examples in any grade are infrequently offered.
