About this banknote
The Government of the Falkland Islands issued this 5-pound banknote in 1983. This series was introduced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of British administration of the islands, which began in 1833. These notes were part of a broader effort to reaffirm the islands' status following the Falklands War in 1982.
The front side of the banknote features a portrait of a monarch alongside local wildlife illustrations, specifically penguins and seals. The back side depicts key landmarks, including Government House and the Christ Church Cathedral with its whalebone arch. This note is cataloged as Pick number 12 and is colored in red and blue hues.
