| 正面描述 | Two intaglio-engraved allegorical vignettes flank the upper portion of the note: at left, a seated female figure surrounded by mercantile goods including bales and a shield; at right, Britannia with a lion and a harbour scene with sailing vessels in the background. The issuer title 'Vingtaine du Mont au Pretre' is engraved in ornate script at the top centre, above the address 'Bath Street, St. Helier' and a manuscript date. The large bold letterpress word 'BRITISH' dominates the centre of the note, with the denomination 'One Pound' rendered in elaborate copperplate script at lower left, below a promise-to-pay text partially overlaid by the large denomination heading. |

The Vingtaine du Mont au Prêtre was one of Jersey's smallest administrative units — a vingtaine being a subdivision of a parish, in this case St. Helier — and the fact that such a body issued its own pound notes speaks to the extraordinary fragmentation of private and quasi-municipal currency that persisted in the Channel Islands well into the nineteenth century. Perkins, Bacon & Petch, then at the height of their reputation for security printing, brought the same anti-forgery steel engraving techniques here that they applied to far larger colonial and banking contracts.
Ransome & Bagot's engraving credit in the plate is a relatively rare appearance for that partnership on Channel Islands material.
