Opmerkingen	Jamaica's first post-independence banknote series launched in 1969, replacing the Eastern Caribbean Currency Board issues that had served the island since 1950. The 50 Cents was the lowest denomination in that inaugural Bank of Jamaica series, and Thomas De La Rue's production in London for a newly sovereign Caribbean central bank was entirely routine for the period — De La Rue held similar contracts across the anglophone Caribbean throughout the 1960s and 70s. Pick 53 was short-lived in the series. The 50 Cents denomination was discontinued relatively quickly as inflation eroded its practical utility, making circulated survivors more common than uncirculated ones.
