The explorer's name and approximate life dates JOHN CABOT c. 1450 - 1498 are inscribed in the upper right field, with the denomination FIVE POUNDS rendered in two lines at the lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's 1497 voyage to North America, though the exact landfall location — Newfoundland, Cape Breton, or somewhere along the Labrador coast — remains contested among historians. Cabot sailed under letters patent from Henry VII, who promised him a share of the profits from any new territories; the king ultimately paid him £10.
Jersey's connection is largely honorific. Cabot was Genoese by birth, Bristol-based by commission.
