| Opmerkingen |
Guernsey's pre-war pound issues occupy an unusual corner of British colonial note history — the island's currency board operated with considerable autonomy, and the States of Guernsey issued directly rather than through any chartered bank. Perkins, Bacon & Petch had deep roots in security printing, their intaglio work well established from decades of stamp and banknote contracts across the empire.
When German forces occupied Guernsey in July 1940, existing notes remained in circulation alongside German Reichskreditkassenscheine. Notes from this 1933–1940 series that survived the occupation were eventually withdrawn, making genuinely circulated examples from the wartime period harder to attribute with certainty.
