Product Description:
MetalStacks proudly presents a piece of Caribbean monetary history with this 1990 Bank of Jamaica One Dollar Note — a circulated example featuring the portrait of Sir Alexander Bustamante, Jamaica's first Prime Minister and one of the most celebrated figures in the nation's independence movement. Issued on January 1, 1990 (dated 1.1.90), this note carries serial number EE538819 and represents an era of Jamaican currency that is no longer in circulation, making it a genuine collectible artifact of the island's modern history.
(PSV 20)
The obverse features a distinguished engraved portrait of Sir Bustamante alongside the Coat of Arms of Jamaica — bearing the national motto "Out of Many, One People" — and the Governor's signature. The reverse showcases a sweeping aerial view of Jamaica's coastline and harbor, a scene emblematic of the island's natural beauty and maritime heritage, printed by Thomas De La Rue and Company Limited, one of the world's most prestigious security printing firms.
A Note on Condition
This note is offered in circulated condition and displays honest wear consistent with its age. Collectors should note that the reverse bears handwritten inscriptions — a name, phone number, and Florida city — added at some point during the note's circulation. This writing is clearly visible and is part of this note's unique history. It is accurately reflected in the photographs provided, and as always at MetalStacks, what you see is exactly what you receive.
Presentation
This note is securely housed in a protective rigid currency holder and elegantly mounted within a wood display frame with a black matted background, ready for immediate display on a desk, shelf, mantel, or wall. The framed setup protects the note while allowing full visibility of its design, portrait, serial number, and signatures. As with all MetalStacks offerings, the note has been carefully handled and verified for authenticity.
Because only one example is available, the exact note shown — including its distinct serial number and individual condition — is the note you will receive.
