Historical banknotes and landmarks in notafilia
Prior to independence, Barbados used banknotes issued by the Government of Barbados and the Bank of Barbados. A significant milestone was the introduction of the first $1 bill in 1973, which featured the portrait of Samuel Jackman Prescod, the first man of color elected to the Barbados House of Assembly. Another pivotal moment was the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of independence in 2016 with the issuance of a special $50 bill, which stood out for its innovative design and enhanced security features.
