Old banknotes and landmarks in Gibraltarian note-keeping
The first Gibraltar banknotes were issued in 1914 by the Government of Gibraltar to cope with the shortage of currency during the First World War. Throughout the 20th century, Gibraltar underwent several changes to its banknotes, including the introduction of the Gibraltar pound in 1927. An important milestone was the issue of commemorative banknotes in 2004 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of British sovereignty over Gibraltar. These old banknotes are now coveted by collectors and reflect the rich numismatic history of this small but significant territory.
