Correct date for Bahamian 50 cents

6 posts • viewed 76 times
The date of this Bahamian note (P#42)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note213532.html
should be 1984, not 1974 as listed. This matches the other notes in this series (P#43-49). See http://banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/AME/BAH/BAH0042.htm.

I asked for the modification of some year lines but I think I missed this one. It should be changed to ND 1984.
Yes, that will match the others.

The '1974' reference is actually to a law passed in 1974 by the Bahamian Parliament - given as 'L. 1974' in some catalogues.

​Yes, that's correct, but the second series of "L.1974" notes were issued in 1984. That's why ND(1984) seems the best solution, unless we can come up with something better?

The notes given as '1965' should be 'L. 1965' or N.D. (1966), as the Bahamian Dollar was introduced in 1966 to replace the Bahamian Pound.

N.D. (1984) is correct.

The 50 Cents notes should be corrected as '50 Cents / 1/2 Dollar', as both denominations are indicated.
