Description: This listing is for the photographed 1960 Government of Jamaica 10 Shillings Bank Note. This note was issued on July 4th, 1960, while Jamaica was part of the Federation of the British West Indies, using the British monetary system. The obverse of this note has a portrait of King George VI on the left end. The reverse portrays a small coat of arms in the upper center. Note is in good condition, with some discoloration and wear from age, as pictured. This rare note provides a fascinating history into British colonialism and Jamaican history, making it a must have for any collection! P#46 (Pick Number 46). The Great Depression of the 1930s hit the British colony of Jamaica particularly hard compared to other Caribbean islands. They experienced numerous labor strikes and riots during this time, resulting in their heavy reliance on support from the British Government. In 1958 Jamaica started to gain autonomy from the British Empire, becoming part of the Federation of the British West Indies. Their involvement in the FWI was a divisive issue, resulting in Jamaica leaving the federation and becoming their own independent nation by 1962, becoming part of the British Commonwealth. This note was issued within the short 4-year span when Jamaica was under British rule while part of the FWI. Super interesting piece of British Colonial and Caribbean history! Thanks for stopping by! 1960 Government of Jamaica 10 Shillings Banknote - 4th July 1960 Issue - King George VI - 1960 British Jamaica Ten Shilling Note - P#46
