备注

British Guiana's wartime currency arrangements were complicated by the fact that the colony's commercial banks — Barclays, Royal Bank of Canada, the British Guiana Bank — normally handled note issuance. A direct Government issue in 1942 signals an emergency measure, almost certainly tied to wartime demand outpacing what the established banking channels could supply.

Waterlow & Sons printed the series in London despite active Blitz risk — the firm's Finsbury printing works had already taken bomb damage earlier in the war. The P#16 twenty-dollar denomination would have represented substantial purchasing power in the colony, likely limiting its day-to-day handling and contributing to the relative scarcity of circulated survivors in this series.
