| Comments |
Pick 59 belongs to the Bank of Jamaica's first decade of note issuing — the bank opened in 1961, replacing the British Caribbean Currency Board which had supplied the island's currency since 1950. By 1976, Jamaica was navigating serious balance-of-payments pressure and IMF negotiations, and the dollar had already begun its long depreciation against sterling and the US dollar.
The "all white numerals" distinction separates this from closely related signature varieties within the L.1960 legislative date series — a small but cataloguable difference that trips up collectors who overlook the numeral coloration when attributing the type.
