The Colonial Bank was a British overseas institution chartered in 1836 primarily to serve the West Indies, though its network eventually extended to British Guiana and parts of West Africa. By the time this note was issued, the bank was already in the late stages of independence — Barclays Bank acquired it in 1917 through the formation of Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas), making this series among the final issues under the Colonial Bank name.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch had an established relationship with colonial and overseas banks throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, using steel intaglio techniques developed originally for postage stamp production. The security architecture on notes of this period reflects that stamp-printing lineage.
