Bermuda's first government-issued paper currency, authorized under the Bermuda Paper Currency Act of 1914. Before this series, the island had relied entirely on sterling coin and private bank notes from the Bank of Bermuda — the outbreak of war that year created the coin shortages that finally forced the government's hand.
The American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant, opened in 1908 as ABNCo's Canadian subsidiary, handled the printing. Surviving examples are rare; the issue was limited, the series short-lived, and redemption thorough.
