| Opmerkingen |
The Turks and Caicos Islands had no central bank in 1918 — the colonial government issued notes directly, which was itself unusual enough. This pound note emerged during the First World War, a period when coin shortages across the British Caribbean forced several small territories to print emergency paper currency. Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, as they did for much of Britain's colonial monetary paperwork during that period.
Pick 4 is scarce. The islands' population was tiny, the notes circulated hard, and surviving examples in any decent state are rarely offered.
