Here is a £1 note issued by the town council of Lewes in England, it was used as part of an experiment into local trade and services usage.

The Lewes Pound is a creative yet practical way for local people to make money

work for Lewes. The Lewes Pound is essentially a voucher or token that can be

traded locally as a complementary currency and used alongside Pounds Sterling.

 

thanks for sharing the photo.

Interesting, any idea what type of paper it was issued on or if the paper is watermarked?

It is issued on standard banknote paper with a watermark as a security measure, up to now i have 3 different pound notes. There are also £5, £10 and most unusually a £21 note.

Wow, a £21 note...Quite Strange

 

 

Kinda makes me think of the interesting story behind "Hutt River Province" and it's coinage and currency.
