| Opmerkingen |
The Wesleyan Methodist Country Chapels Bank was one of several small private banks operating in Jersey during the first half of the nineteenth century, where the absence of a central banking authority allowed religious and merchant institutions alike to issue their own notes. That a Methodist chapel organization held banking functions is less surprising in context than it sounds — Wesleyan congregations in the British Isles frequently managed communal finances, and the Channel Islands' peculiar constitutional position outside the Bank of England's jurisdiction made such arrangements legally workable.
The JN#13 designation places this within the Jersey Notes reference corpus. The 1835–1850 window is broad enough to suggest no precise issue date has been confirmed from surviving specimens.
