New currency notes
Jersey has been issuing its own bank notes since July 1963. New note designs of the following denominations will be released into circulation in April 2010:
Features and design
As is traditional in Jersey, the front of the new notes bear a hand-engraved, intaglio (an image incised or cut into a surface) portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the words 'States of Jersey' above the Island crest.
For this new series, different aspects of Jersey’s architecture, history and culture are highlighted. The central designs on both the front and reverse of the notes feature important local architectural and sculptural landmarks.
The reverse of each note carries the denominational value in both numbers and words (in both French and Jèrriais), the words 'États de Jersey', and the 12 parish crests. In addition to the usual security features, the £10, £20 and £50 notes also carry a hologram.
