The Parish of St. Brelade is one of twelve parishes in Jersey that issued its own emergency paper money during the German Occupation of 1940–1945. These parochial notes were a stopgap measure — the occupying authorities disrupted normal currency supply, and individual parishes were authorised to print their own low-denomination notes to keep local commerce functional. St. Brelade's issues are among the scarcer parish notes from this period, partly due to lower population and correspondingly smaller print runs.
The watermark security feature is notable for a wartime emergency issue of this type — most comparable occupation-era parochial notes dispensed with such refinements entirely.
