Banknotes of Gibraltar

The official currency of Gibraltar is the Gibraltar pound, issued by the Government of Gibraltar. Paper money was first introduced in Gibraltar in 1877 when the first banknotes were issued by the Gibraltar Savings Bank. In 2012, a redenomination took place when a new series of banknotes featuring updated designs was launched to enhance security features. Collectors are attracted to Gibraltar's banknotes due to their unique designs that often feature local landmarks and historical figures. The 1988 series, for instance, showcases the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, along with images of key figures like Sir Joshua Hassan, who served as Chief Minister, highlighting the personal stories embedded in the currency.
