Jamaica, P 70d, B226e, 5 Dollars, 1 August 1992
Omschrijving
The notes of the 1985 - 1999 series are like the preceding issues, but are reduced in size to a consistent 145 x 68 mm, bear dates of issuance, and the printer imprint appears on the back. Special symbols to aid the visually impaired appear on the front of all notes except the 1-dollar denomination. Norman Washington Manley (4 July 1893 – 2 September 1969), was a Jamaican statesman. A Rhodes Scholar, Manley became one of Jamaica's leading lawyers in the 1920s. Manley was an advocate of universal suffrage, which was granted by the British colonial government to the colony in 1944. Manley served as the colony's Chief Minister from 1955 to 1959, and as Premier from 1959 to 1962. He was a proponent of self-government but was persuaded to join nine other British colonies in the Caribbean territories in a Federation of the West Indies but called a referendum on the issue in 1961. Voters chose to have Jamaica withdraw from the union. He then opted to call a general election even though his five-year mandate was barely halfway through.
