| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in black on white paper by intaglio, the note is framed by an ornate scrollwork border with foliate corner pieces. At the upper centre, an oval vignette presents a tree-lined avenue leading to a country house, surmounted by an arched legend reading "TOWN & PARISH OF ST. HELIER"; to the upper left the denomination "£1" is rendered in elaborate script, and to the upper right the three-lion shield of Jersey appears. The main text panel carries a promise-to-pay clause in italic script, dated "JERSEY, 25TH SEPTEMBER 1858", with two serial numbers flanking the vignette and the word "BRITISH" in bold block letters along the lower margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
St. Helier is one of the few parish-level authorities in the British Isles ever to have issued its own pound notes, a quirk of Jersey's constitutional autonomy that placed certain local fiscal powers outside the control of any central bank. The 1858 date puts this note in the transitional period before the States of Jersey consolidated island-wide currency arrangements — parish issues like this one were already anachronistic by the time they circulated.
Perkins, Bacon & Co. were simultaneously printing postage stamps for dozens of colonial administrations, and their security printing work for small jurisdictions often used shared plate infrastructure. The signatures of the Procureur du Bien Public and the Constable of St. Helier — both parish offices with Norman French roots dating to medieval customary law — were almost certainly applied by hand after delivery from London.
