| Opmerkingen |
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago — not a commercial bank — took direct responsibility for currency issuance under the colonial administration, a relatively uncommon arrangement that produced these early government notes rather than the chartered bank issues common elsewhere in the British Caribbean at the time. De La Rue printed the series in London, as they did for the bulk of British colonial governments across this period.
The twenty-one year window of issue (1905–1926) means dated examples span a remarkable stretch of colonial economic history, including the disruptions of the First World War and the postwar commodity volatility that hit Trinidad's sugar and petroleum sectors hard.
