The Saint Helena pound is issued by the British overseas territory of Saint Helena. It is fixed at parity with the pound sterling.

Coins are issued in denominations of 1p (one penny), 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (one pound), and £2, whilst banknotes are issued in denominations of £5, £10, and £20.

St Helena does not have a central bank of its own, and the only banking services on the island are provided by a commercial bank, the Bank of St. Helena. St. Helena banknotes and coins are issued by the St. Helena Government, not the Bank of St. Helena.
