Commenti	The Colonial Bank operated across the British West Indies and British Guiana from its founding in 1836, holding a near-monopoly on colonial banking in several territories for decades. By 1907 it was already in the late stages of its independent existence — Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) absorbed it in 1925 along with two other Caribbean banks in a consolidation that wiped the Colonial Bank name from circulation entirely. Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the dominant security printers for British colonial currency throughout this period, their intaglio work largely responsible for the visual continuity across otherwise quite different issuing authorities. The P#S111 designation places this note in the specialized rather than general circulation series — worth noting for attribution purposes.
