About this banknote
The Government of Gibraltar issued this one-pound banknote in 1958. This series was introduced under the authority of the Currency Notes Ordinance 1934, allowing Gibraltar to produce its own currency notes. The pound sterling remained the standard after World War II, necessitating such notes for domestic use.
The front side of the note features an engraved image of the Rock of Gibraltar, a prominent landmark. The reverse shows the Gibraltar coat of arms with the motto "Montis Insignia Calpe." The banknote was printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd., London, with the signature of John Hayward, the financial secretary at the time.
