| Obverse description | Printed in dark green on white paper, the obverse is framed by a decorative guilloche border enclosing a central vignette of St. Mary's Church, Jersey, flanked by heraldic shield vignettes — the Jersey arms to the left and a lion passant to the right — each accompanied by the numeral '1'. The issuer's title 'ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL BANK' runs in a curved banner at the top, while a bold letterpress overprint 'BRITISH' crosses the centre of the note and the word 'ONE' appears in a boxed panel at lower left. The promise-to-pay text and authorisation reference to the States of Jersey appear in the body of the note, with the signatures of the Procureurs du Bien Public and the Constable of St. Mary's at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially unprinted, presenting a plain white paper surface with only faint show-through of the obverse design visible. A small boxed denomination panel reading 'ONE' is discernible in the lower right corner, consistent with the note's face value. |

| Comments |
No institution called St. Mary's Parochial Bank appears in any verified record of Jersey banking history, and Pick #327 does not correspond to a Jersey issue in the standard catalog. Parish-level note-issuing in Jersey was not a documented practice — the island's private banking was dominated by a small number of commercial houses, none operating under parochial authority.
This entry should be verified against primary source documentation before cataloging as genuine.
