Opmerkingen

Guernsey's wartime notes were produced entirely under German occupation authority, but issued in the name of the States of Guernsey — a deliberate administrative fiction that allowed the occupiers to avoid the legal and diplomatic complications of issuing currency directly. The blue paper used for this denomination was not a design choice but a practical one: the island's printer, the Guernsey Press Co., worked with whatever stock was available as the occupation dragged on and supply chains tightened.

The 6 Pence denomination (Pick 24) is among the more commonly encountered of the occupation issues, though paper fragility means genuinely sound examples are harder to find than mintage alone would suggest.
