The P-62 is part of the revised 2000 series that introduced upgraded security to the Barbadian dollar family, a response to increasingly sophisticated regional counterfeiting that had troubled several Eastern Caribbean jurisdictions through the late 1990s. De La Rue's involvement here is long-standing — Barbados has sourced its notes from them since independence-era issues, giving the series an unusual continuity of printer across four decades.
Marion Williams served as Governor of the Central Bank from 1999 to 2009, one of the longer tenures in the institution's history. The dual-signature format on this series lists her name explicitly rather than just the title, which is not universal practice among Caribbean central banks.
