The supported royal arms vignette occupies the centre of the note, flanked by guilloche panels bearing the numeral "5" in oval cartouches on either side. The bank's full title arches across the top in bold letterpress, with the legend "FORMERLY THE COLONIAL BANK" beneath it, and the text "PROMISES TO PAY THE BEARER ON DEMAND AT ITS OFFICE HERE" appears to either side of the central arms. The denomination "FIVE DOLLARS" is printed in large letters along the lower portion, with the place of issue "BRIDGETOWN BARBADOS" at lower left and the date "1ST SEPTEMBER 1926" at lower right, accompanied by two manuscript signatures. |

The reverse is printed entirely in green, with the supported royal arms centrally placed within an elaborate guilloche surround. The bank's name "BARCLAYS BANK (DOMINION, COLONIAL AND OVERSEAS)" arches across the top in bold lettering, with "FORMERLY THE COLONIAL BANK" immediately below, and circular guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral "5" flank the central vignette on each side. A lower inscription records the bank's incorporation history, and the printer's imprint "BRADBURY WILKINSON & CO LTD ENGRAVERS, NEW MALDEN, SURREY, ENGLAND" appears at the foot. |

Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) was itself a recent creation when this note was issued — the DCO entity had only been constituted in 1925 through the merger of Colonial Bank, Anglo-Egyptian Bank, and the National Bank of South Africa. This 5 Dollar note is consequently one of the earliest instruments issued under that consolidated name, and the dollar denomination places it firmly in one of the Caribbean territories, most likely the British West Indies, where dollar-denominated Barclays branches operated.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility handled security printing for a wide range of colonial banking clients during this period, and their intaglio work on private bank issues of the 1920s is generally of high quality. Pick S101 is scarce in any grade.
