About this banknote
The States of Jersey issued this 2 shilling banknote in 1942 during the German occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II. This was part of a series introduced to circumvent currency shortages and ensure the local economy could continue functioning amidst wartime disruptions.
The front of the note features the States of Jersey's crest and a promise to pay, with a blue and orange color scheme. The back displays an illustration of people riding on a horse and cart by Edmund Blampied. Approximately 840,000 of these notes were produced, with a specific Pick number of 3.
