Barbados adopted its dollar in 1973 following the collapse of the East Caribbean Currency Authority arrangement, and the Central Bank has issued all domestic currency since. The "Small numeral" designation distinguishes this series from earlier printings where the denomination numeral on the face was rendered at a larger point size — a subtle change made during a design refresh rather than a full reissue, which is why both types share the same Pick number base with different suffixes.
Thomas De La Rue's see-through register on this note aligns a partial motif split across both faces — a security feature the firm had been refining through the 1980s and applied across several Caribbean central bank contracts in this period.
