10 Dollars - Elizabeth II

The Bahamas Government series of 1965 was the last currency issued under that authority before the Bahamas Monetary Authority took over issuance in 1968. Pick 22 carries two known signature combinations — Sands & Higgs, and the later Francis, Higgs & Smiley-Butler trio — reflecting ministerial changes within the colonial treasury structure as the islands moved toward greater internal self-government.

De La Rue's watermark security on this series is relatively modest by the standards of their contemporary colonial output. The $10 face value placed this note at the high end of everyday transactional use, and surviving circulated examples tend to show heavy handling wear at the folds — a denomination that moved, rather than sat in cash drawers.
