About this banknote
The Bermuda Government issued this 1-dollar banknote on February 6, 1970, as part of the country's transition to decimal currency. This marked Bermuda's first decimal currency issue, replacing the Bermudian pound with the Bermudian dollar at a rate of $1 = 8 shillings 4 pence.
The front of the note features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik tiara, King George VI’s festoon necklace, and Queen Mary’s floret earrings. To the left of the portrait is the Bermuda coat of arms, and at the center, a Bermuda petrel (cahow) in flight. The reverse depicts two Bermuda Fitted Dinghy sailboats and a view of buildings and a church in Hamilton. The banknote measures 140 x 70 mm and has a watermark of a tuna fish.
