Jersey's German occupation issues are among the few instances where an occupied British territory produced its own emergency currency under Axis administration — and this note is the most artistically significant of them. Edmund Blampied, a Jersey-born etcher and illustrator of genuine international reputation, was commissioned to design the series. The Germans approved his work, apparently unaware that he had embedded subtle visual references legible only to those who knew the island.
Blampied later described the commission as the most uncomfortable of his career. The plates were engraved and printed locally under occupation conditions, not shipped to a metropolitan printer.
