The Falkland Islands has issued polymer notes since 2011, making this 2025 issue part of an established series rather than a conversion from paper. De La Rue's Safeguard® substrate is used throughout, printed at their Debden facility in Essex — the "London" designation reflects corporate address rather than production site.
This is one of the first Falkland Islands notes to carry Charles III's portrait following the 2022 accession, replacing the long-running Elizabeth II definitive series. The territory issues its own pound at parity with sterling but the currency is not accepted in the UK.
