| Opmerkingen |
British Honduras operated under a fixed exchange rate tied to the United States dollar from 1894, following a prolonged period of currency instability driven by the collapse of silver values and the territory's reliance on mahogany and chicle export earnings. This note was issued directly by the colonial government rather than through a chartered bank — an arrangement that reflected the colony's small population and the absence of any locally incorporated bank of issue during this period.
De La Rue's watermarked stock was the primary security measure, as was typical for low-volume colonial issues where elaborate numbering or overprint systems were considered unnecessary overhead. The relatively long issue window suggests slow absorption into circulation rather than high turnover.
