The Bank of Nassau was a short-lived institution operating in the Bahamas under a royal charter, and this 5 Shillings note from 1870 is among the earliest pieces of documented Bahamian colonial paper money. Charles Skipper & East were a reliable mid-tier London security printer of the period, producing colonial notes for numerous British territories when the larger firms like Perkins Bacon were occupied elsewhere.
The P#A1 designation signals this is the first catalogued issue for the bank — and likely one of very few surviving examples, given the tiny circulation requirements of a small island colony and the near-total absence of these notes from the auction record.
