| 背面描述 | Printed in brown on white paper. The design is entirely ornamental, centred on an oval intaglio vignette of a square-rigged sailing vessel at sea, enclosed within a series of concentric guilloche rosettes and foliate scrollwork. Numeral "5/-" counters in scalloped frames appear at the left and right, with the denomination "FIVE SHILLINGS" lettered in each of the four corners. |

Grenada's 1920 5 Shillings is one of the earliest government-issued notes for the island, predating the unified Eastern Caribbean currency arrangements by decades. At this point Grenada was a British Crown Colony, and the issue came under colonial treasury authority rather than any central bank — an arrangement common to small island possessions that lacked the transaction volume to justify a full banking infrastructure.
De La Rue's involvement here is entirely expected; the firm handled the vast majority of British colonial small-denomination issues during this period. What makes this note genuinely scarce is the limited original print run combined with heavy use in a tropical climate that was hard on paper currency.
