Please add in Gilbert & Ellice Islands.

I approved one note under Kiribati. It can be moved when the proper issuer is created. For some specifics:

Name:
  • Gilbert and Ellice Islands
  • Îles Gilbert et Ellice

Map:
  • Kiribati and Tuvalu

Currency:
  • Pound (1942)

Ruling Authority... this was a British colony from 1916 to 1976, so the Ruling Authority should be:
  • George VI (1936-1952)

Hello,

Thanks, this is added.

I moved the first note already:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note215223.html

Currency and ruler is also added, they will likely update tomorrow.

I didn't add the years for the currency: the notes were issued as emergency currency during Japanese occupation just in '42 but circulated and were exchangeable until later. So I don't know if there is already a precedent on Numista for this, but I feel the dates should indicate the circulation of the currency, right?

Best regards

Definitely a genuine Gilbert & Ellice Islands Government note.

There was also a 1 Pound note printed for Fanning Island during World War II.
