P#46 is part of the 1974-series signature rotation that carried into the mid-1980s, with Allen serving as Governor and Smith as Director. The "white border" designation distinguishes this from the earlier frameline designs in the same denomination run — a modest but catalogically meaningful difference that affects how dealers sort the series.
De La Rue had held the Bahamian contract since independence, and the relationship was essentially uninterrupted through this period.
