| Obverse description | Printed in blue on white paper, the note carries the bank title in bold letterpress along the upper border, flanked by the numeral 1 at each corner. Three vignettes occupy the upper register: a harbour scene with sailing vessels at left, the Jersey coat of arms within a laurel wreath at centre, and a rural labour scene at right. A large guilloche-bordered panel in the centre bears the promise-to-pay text in script and the denomination ONE POUND in bold type, with two circular lathe-work rosettes at either side. The imprint of Charles Skipper & East, London appears in small type below the central panel, and manuscript signatures and entry notations are present at the foot. |
