St. Mary's Parochial Bank was one of several Jersey parish banks that briefly issued their own notes in the early nineteenth century — a peculiarity of the island's constitutional status outside the United Kingdom, which placed it beyond the reach of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. These institutions were tiny, locally accountable, and short-lived. Most collapsed or were absorbed before mid-century.

Pick 326 is among the rarer survivals from this period. Documentation on St. Mary's specifically is thin, and dated examples are the primary means of establishing when the bank actually operated.
