Comments

There is a line of microtext on the obverse of the note, on the right side. It is not always in the same place but runs over the “D” or to the right of the “D” in the word Pound. If this is greatly magnified (backlight helps also) then the word “Geurnsey” can be seen repeated:

The note has no watermark.

UV activity is on the reverse only, seen here at 365nm:
