1 Pound Jersey Banking Company.A.D.1828

The Jersey Banking Company was established in 1816 and became one of the island's more durable private issuers, though it ultimately failed in 1873 — less than a decade after these notes were printed. The collapse wiped out a significant number of depositors and contributed to growing pressure for tighter regulation of Jersey's private banking sector.

Perkins, Bacon & Petch were the dominant security printers of the mid-nineteenth century, responsible for the original Penny Black stamps and countless colonial and private bank issues. Their steel-intaglio work is identifiable by its characteristic fineness of line. The "A.D.1828" in the note's title almost certainly reflects the date of the original plate design or the company's reincorporation date, not the year of issue.
