| Comments |
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago issued this series under direct colonial administration — the Treasury, not a central bank, was the issuing authority, a arrangement that persisted well past comparable territories. De La Rue printed the notes in London throughout the entire run, with the colony's distance from the press creating real logistical complications during the Second World War years when shipping routes through the Atlantic were disrupted.
Pick 5 spans a fourteen-year window that covers wartime rationing, labor unrest, and the early stirrings of West Indian federation politics — none of which is visible in the note itself, but all of which shaped how much of this paper actually moved through commerce.
