Lettering:
The Treasury Note promises to pay
the Bearer, one day after sight, the
sum of ONE WELSH POUND

The Chief Treasury of Wales was
formed in 1969 as the only privately
owned National Treasury in the
World and until the abolition of
Stamp Duty, its Notes carried a two
penny British government impressed
stamp.

It later changed its name to the
Black Sheep Company of Wales
being drovers banks, which later
became part of the foundation of
present day British Clearing Banks.

This particular note is modelled on
the notes of the Aberystwyth and
Tregaron Bank Ltd, that had a motif
of a sheep and a lamp and was
widely accepted and known as The
Black Sheep Bank.
