Pick 67 runs across two signature combinations, both dated May — the 2007 issue bearing the Williams/Worrell pairing and the 2012 note carrying Worrell's signature alone under a new governor arrangement. DeLaRue's see-through register on this series is among the more precisely executed in the Caribbean region at the time, requiring exact alignment across both sides of the sheet — a tolerance that gives printers genuine trouble at volume.
The "large striped numeral" designation distinguishes it from earlier 5-dollar issues in the Barbados series where the denomination numeral treatment differed on the face.
