| Beschrijving voorzijde | Green intaglio print on a pink underprint with black serial numbers. At right, a left-facing portrait vignette of King George V anchors the composition, while the Bahamian colonial seal — bearing a sailing ship and the motto EXPULSIS PIRATIS RESTITUTA COMMERCIA — occupies the left; a central vignette of palm trees with a sailing vessel bridges the two. The entire design is enclosed within an intricate guilloche border with ornate corner medallions. |

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.
