The Guernsey Pound (GGP) is the official currency of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, issued by the States of Guernsey and pegged 1:1 with the British Pound Sterling.
Modern GGP banknotes feature detailed designs celebrating the island’s heritage, including historic buildings, local symbols, and scenes reflecting Guernsey’s maritime and agricultural traditions.
Current issues incorporate updated security features, crisp engraving, and vibrant colour palettes while retaining the distinctive local themes that make Guernsey notes instantly recognisable.
These modern banknotes circulate alongside Bank of England notes within the island and remain a popular choice among collectors due to their limited geographic use and unique regional identity.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Guernsey issued several earlier generations of Pound banknotes.
These older notes often feature traditional paper designs, earlier portraits, and classic layouts reflecting the island’s long‑standing history, local governance, and cultural character.
Many withdrawn notes circulated from the mid‑20th century through the early 2000s before being replaced by updated designs.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, outdated Guernsey Pound notes remain highly collectible due to their low print volumes, distinctive artwork, and strong connection to the island’s heritage.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Guernsey Pound notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
