Banknotes of Guernsey

The official currency of Guernsey is the Guernsey pound, which is issued by the States of Guernsey’s Treasury and Resources Department. Paper money was first introduced in Guernsey in 1815. In 2003, the £1 note was redesigned to feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with images representing local landmarks. Collectors appreciate Guernsey banknotes for their unique designs and regional significance. One distinctive feature is the use of local symbols, such as the iconic Guernsey lily on various series, which highlights the island's botanical heritage and connection to its community.
