The Wessen Pound is issued in both Banknote Form.

Names
The official name for the currency is the Wessen Pound, however this is usually only used in formal terms or when it is needed to distinguish from the Pound Sterling. Otherwise the term Pound is used. Other times the currency is abbreviated to WP when written as the price, however the symbol (£) is used more often than note.

A common slang for the Pound is 'Quid' which is also used to refer to the Pound Sterling, another common colloquialism for the currency is 'dragon' referencing the Wyvern of Wessex which is printed on the forward side of most coins.
