P#CS2 designates this as a color specimen or proof issue rather than a circulating note — the Bank of Jamaica was formally established under the Bank of Jamaica Law of 1960, making this among the earliest material associated with the institution. Jamaica did not achieve independence until August 1962, meaning this note was prepared under British colonial administration, issued in the name of a central bank that had barely come into existence.
De La Rue's involvement was essentially automatic for newly constituted Commonwealth central banks of this period; the firm had longstanding relationships with the Colonial Office and its successor institutions.
