Historical banknotes and landmark landmarks
Guernsey' s first banknotes were issued in the 19th century, during a period of currency scarcity. An important milestone was the 1941 issue, when the island was occupied by Germany during World War II and was forced to produce its own emergency banknotes. After the war, Guernsey continued to issue its own banknotes, gradually modernizing their designs and security features. In 1980, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was introduced on the banknotes, marking another significant moment in the island's note history.
