No portrait of the King on new Guernsey bank notes
The family of £1, £5, £10 and £20 polymer notes are set to enter circulation in 2027 and will feature images of the island's natural and built landscape.
It follows an open call for submissions by The States of Guernsey last year – with the three successful designs selected by a panel from 26 submissions.
Guernsey-born artist Hayley Mallett and photographer Rachael de la Mare collaborated on designs for the front of the notes, while the back of the notes are set to feature the work of urban architect Natasha K.HE.
The notes were last redesigned in the 1990s with a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II, but the new designs will not feature the British Monarch King Charles III.
States' Treasurer Bethan Haines said: "It is only the last set of notes that Guernsey produced that included the monarch.
"We wanted to return to them being purely about Guernsey and more timeless."
Some of the designs are said to capture the Bailiwick's flora and fauna while others feature Guernsey's historic structures and natural landscape.
Ms Mallett said she could not wait to reveal her designs which were based on photographs taken by Ms de la Mare and created "using thread and beadwork".
She said she hoped the designs captured the essence of the islands and would bring "a sense of pride and joy" in the Bailiwick.
China-born urban architect Natasha K.HE, who moved to the island a few years ago, said she was inspired to enter the competition to "tell a story about the magical "granite rock" in the Channel Islands.
"Through my designs, I sincerely aim to let the world know about and appreciate this beautiful island," she said
Once finalised the designs will be handed over to currency specialists De La Rue – a company founded in Guernsey.
