备注	The Mont-à-L'Abbé Bank was one of several private banks operating in Jersey during the mid-nineteenth century, issuing their own notes in a period before any centralised authority regulated local currency. These institutions were small, often parish-linked operations, and their notes circulated within tight geographic limits — a note like this would rarely have travelled far from the island, let alone off it. Jersey's private bank note era effectively ended when the larger issuers collapsed or were absorbed, and survivor notes are genuinely uncommon. The JN reference series documents Jersey notes specifically; relatively few Mont-à-L'Abbé pieces are recorded.
