Pick 43 replaced the earlier 1974 series and was one of the last Bahamian notes to carry the more conservative peripheral border treatment before the Central Bank shifted toward the bolder designs of the late 1980s. Thomas De La Rue had handled Bahamian currency production continuously since independence in 1973, and the 1984 dollar shows that long familiarity — the register and ink saturation on surviving examples are consistently tight.
W. C. Allen signed as Governor of the Central Bank; F. H. Smith as Financial Secretary, a pairing specific to a relatively narrow window of issue.
