| Opschrift keerzijde | The Treasury Note promises to pay the Bearer, one day after sight, the sum of ONE WELSH POUND The Chief Treasury of Wales was formed in 1969 as the only privately owned National Treasury in the World and until the abolition of Stamp Duty, its Notes carried a two penny British government impressed stamp. It later changed its name to the Black Sheep Company of Wales being drovers banks, which later became part of the foundation of present day British Clearing Banks. This particular note is modelled on the notes of the Aberystwyth and Tregaron Bank Ltd, that had a motif of a sheep and a lamp and was widely accepted and known as The Black Sheep Bank.

The Black Sheep Company of Wales Limited was a private novelty issuer, not a licensed bank, and these notes carry no legal tender status whatsoever. They exist purely as tourist merchandise and regional curiosity items — the Welsh-language corporate name being the primary draw for collectors interested in the overlap between language revival politics and commercial ephemera.
Wales has never had an independent central bank or lawful note-issuing authority of its own, which is precisely what makes private fantasy issues like this one commercially viable as souvenirs.
