The Guernsey Commercial Banking Company had a short and troubled existence, absorbed by the National Provincial Bank well before this note was issued — which makes the issuer name itself something of an anachronism. By 1914, the company was operating in a kind of institutional afterlife, and the outbreak of war that summer created acute demand for small-denomination paper across the Channel Islands as coin disappeared from circulation almost immediately.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the obvious choice for any British colonial or semi-autonomous issuer wanting security printing of proven quality. The firm's intaglio work is recognizable to anyone who has handled their output.
