Jersey's 1989 pound issue falls within the long-running P#15 series, which the States of Jersey extended through several signature varieties across the 1980s and into the 1990s — making precise dating by signature pairing essential for accurate cataloguing. De La Rue printed the series in London, as they had for Jersey continuously since the post-occupation reconstruction of the island's currency infrastructure after 1945.
Jersey maintained its own currency distinct from the UK pound sterling at parity, a arrangement that required no formal treaty — just the practical convenience of a Crown dependency with its own fiscal autonomy.
