| Comments |
The P#72 series replaced the earlier P#63 design and formed part of a broader family refresh that the Central Bank of the Bahamas introduced in the mid-2000s. Thomas De La Rue handled the full run, as they have for Bahamian notes across most of the country's post-independence issues — the relationship predates the Central Bank itself, stretching back to the Currency Board era.
The holographic stripe on this denomination was a meaningful upgrade over the series it succeeded, which relied on a simpler foil patch. Notes from the early end of this print window occasionally surface with thread placement variance — a known quirk of the P#72 production runs rather than an error proper.
