| Opmerkingen |
The Bible Christian Society of Jersey issued a small number of private banknotes in the nineteenth century, operating within the particular legal latitude that Jersey's non-British constitutional status afforded local institutions. The Channel Islands were never subject to the Bank of England's successive monopoly legislation that choked off private note issuance across England and Wales — which is precisely why obscure issuing bodies could still put paper into local circulation long after equivalent institutions on the mainland had been wound up or absorbed.
Pick 126 is among the rarer Jersey private issues. The Society's circulation was narrow by any measure, and surviving examples are genuinely uncommon.
