What is the value of a British and pound1 note?

Answer 1

Please check your note. It is extremely unlikely that a British 1642 Pound note was ever issued, the Bank of England did not commence until 1694.

It is possible that the note is a private issue from a bank or perhaps even a Promissory Note.

Answer 2

Bank of England One Pound notes were blue for most of the 1940's.

The Chief Cashier was K.O Peppiatt, but a serial number is required to identify the banknote.

A Bank of England 1940's One Pound note (Series A - blue)(depending on the serial number), circulated but still in fair condition, might fetch anything up to £5 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 4
