Jamaica, P 91, B246a, 500 Dollars, 6 August 2012
Omschrijving
The 2012 series, which commemorate Jamaica’s Golden Jubilee, are like the preceding issues, but with the Jamaica 50 logo superimposed on the watermark on the front of each note. Also, the unique designs on the backs of the preceding issues have been replaced by a common vignette of a group of schoolchildren. Queen Nanny, Granny Nanny or Nanny of the maroons (c. 1686 – c. 1755), led a community of formerly enslaved Africans called the Windward Maroons. In the early 18th century, they fought a multi-year war against British colonizers in Jamaica. Queen Nanny was born in what is today Ghana of the Akan or Ashanti people. According to the oral tradition and at least one documentary source, she was never enslaved. Although widely assumed that she arrived in Jamaica as a slave, how she arrived in Jamaica is not certain.
