Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Jamaican independence, this commemorative note was released in 2012 alongside a polymer version of the same design — an unusual dual-issue approach that allowed collectors and institutions to acquire both the traditional cotton substrate and its plastic counterpart from the same event. Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig handled the cotton printing, as they had done for several Jamaican issues in the preceding decades.
Pick 90 is the cotton variant; Pick 91 is the polymer. The distinction matters for attribution.
