| 表面の説明 | Blue intaglio print on orange guilloche underprint. The Royal Arms vignette occupies the upper centre, flanked by two oval medallions each bearing the denomination numeral "$5" within fine lathe-work borders. A script promise-to-pay legend in cursive lettering runs across the centre panel, with the place of issue "PORT OF SPAIN" below, followed by the authority line "By order of the Court of Directors of the Colonial Bank." The bank title "COLONIAL BANK" appears in bold capitals along the top border, and "TRINIDAD" along the bottom border, with a rectangular guilloche panel carrying "FIVE DOLLARS" at lower centre. This is a Specimen example, cancelled by pin-perforations. |

The Colonial Bank was a British overseas institution chartered in 1836 to serve the Caribbean, operating branches across Barbados, Trinidad, British Guiana, and several smaller islands. By 1903 it was already in the late stages of independent existence — Barclays would absorb it in 1925 alongside the Anglo-Egyptian Bank and the National Bank of South Africa to form Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas).
The S suffix in the Pick reference denotes a specimen, which tracks with Perkins, Bacon practice of retaining archive examples from colonial and commercial bank printings. Perkins, Bacon held the intaglio plate work for dozens of such institutions simultaneously, and specimen retention was routine.
