| Obverse description | A central vignette presents a panoramic view of St. Peter Port harbour with vessels and fortifications rendered in fine letterpress engraving, set within a rectangular frame. The title THE STATES OF GUERNSEY arches across the upper portion, with the denomination ONE POUND appearing in bold lettering on a dark panel at centre, overlaid by a red guilloche rosette stamp. Sterling £1 numerals occupy all four corners within an ornate lace-pattern border, and the date 1st January, 1943 appears to the left below the harbour vignette. |
