The Cornish Stannary Parliament claimed dormancy rather than abolition — its proponents argued it had never been legally dissolved, and the 1985 note issue was part of a deliberate effort to assert that continuity in tangible form. "Hanter Puns" is simply half a pound in Cornish, and the choice of denominating in pounds rather than inventing a new unit suggests the intent was political provocation rather than a functioning parallel currency.
Printed in Camborne, the heartland of Cornish tin mining, the geographical choice was pointed. The stannaries were historically the self-governing tin-mining jurisdictions with their own courts and legal exemptions dating to medieval royal charters.
