H.C. Jervis operated in Sydney during the mid-nineteenth century and is documented as a commercial engraver and printer, but I cannot verify this specific note's issuance, authority, or circulation history with confidence. A specialist in Australian colonial ephemera or Pacific island scrip would be the right source before cataloging this piece.
