| Obverse description | The obverse is engraved in a classical early 19th-century style with a central vignette of St. Mary's Church, Jersey, flanked by the Jersey arms on the left and the three lions passant guardant arms on the right, each bearing the denomination numeral "4/-" beside them. The legend "ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL BANK" arches across the top within a decorative guilloche border, while the text of the promise to pay "ONE POUND" is rendered in bold letterpress at centre, with the word "BRITISH" overprinted in large open letters across the body of the note. At the lower margin appear the inscriptions "Procurant le Bien Public" and "Constable of St. Marys", with signature lines for the Enumerator and the Constable. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially plain, printed on white cotton paper with a large central watermark vignette of the Jersey coat of arms — three lions passant guardant — visible in relief within a decorative oval frame, surrounded by a zigzag guilloche border along the outer edges. The design is unprinted save for the watermark device, giving the reverse a stark, unadorned appearance typical of early parochial issue notes. |
