备注	Guernsey's bilingual denomination — 5 Shillings on the sterling side, 6 Francs on the French — reflects the island's genuinely dual monetary reality in 1914, not a design affectation. French currency circulated alongside sterling in the Channel Islands well into the twentieth century, and the franc equivalence was a practical necessity rather than a nostalgic gesture. Perkins, Bacon printed the note at the outbreak of the First World War, when small change became acutely scarce across the British Isles. The States of Guernsey issued these notes as an emergency measure, part of a broader run of denominations authorized in August 1914. John Leale was Jurat at the time of issue; Edmond Fieber served as Comptroller.
