Banknotes of the Jason Islands

Banknotes of the Jason Islands

Banknotes were issued for the Jason Islands in 1979 by the islands' owner, Len Hill under the title of 'Administrator'. The Jason Islands are constitutionally a part of the Falkland Islands.

There were five denominations - 50 pence, 1 pound, 5 pounds, 10 pounds, and 20 pounds. They carry the clause 'VALID UNTIL 31 DECEMBER 1979' on the backs of the notes.
