Perkins, Bacon & Co. had deep experience printing colonial and dominion currency by the 1920s, and Guernsey's interwar notes benefited from that pedigree. The firm's intaglio work gave these issues a tactile quality that local printing could not have matched, and Guernsey's authorities were evidently satisfied — Perkins, Bacon handled successive issues for the island across this period.
The States of Guernsey had the right to issue its own notes independently of the UK clearing system, a function of its status as a Crown Dependency rather than a constituent part of the United Kingdom. The 10 Shilling denomination in particular filled a practical gap in everyday island commerce during the late 1920s.
