1 Pound St. Ouen's Bank

St. Ouen's Bank was one of several short-lived private banks that emerged in Jersey during the early nineteenth century, issuing their own notes with minimal regulatory oversight from the island's authorities. These institutions were fragile by nature — undercapitalized, dependent on local confidence, and vulnerable to any run on reserves. Most collapsed within a decade or two of founding.

George Syvret and John Langlais as dual signatories reflects the partnership structure typical of these Jersey private banks, where personal liability and personal reputation were the only real backing. JN#229 is a scarce survival from what was almost certainly a very limited issue.
