What's the name for a token banknote?

[<k>]

As you know, the Bank of England orders banknotes to be produced. However, these are only legal tender in England and Wales - that is, the area covered by English law. They are not legal tender in Scotland or Northern Ireland - however, they do still circulate there and are used there. Furthermore, Scotland or Northern Ireland each have their own national circulating banknotes, which are issued by their respective banks.

According to Wikipedia:

Currently, three retail banks are allowed to print notes for circulation in Scotland; Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale Bank. Such banknotes have to be backed one to one with Bank of England notes.

Northern Ireland has four issuers of banknotes:

Bank of Ireland notes
First Trust Bank notes
Danske Bank/Northern Bank notes
Ulster Bank notes

Technically, none of these issues is legal tender. That puts them in the same position as tokens: money that is not issued by the State. What is the name for banknotes that are not legal tender but are still money? Are they just paper tokens?

In French and Italian, assignates/assignati. From allotting a value to a piece of paper. Related to the English word assignment, so an English speaker should get his tongue around it. I don't think assignates exists as a word in English, but I have invented a now accepted English term before...

Hmm, just don't say "pseudo-coins", or I'll get some ETs to abduct you as a punishment.

  No, Richard Yeoman invented that one. Mine is "concessionality level". The translators hated it.

Send the ET's anyway. I'd love a free space flight.

What in the multiverse does THAT mean?

Sorry, I fell asleep halfway through the second sentence of the definition, and I've only just woken up. 

"The square of the hypotenuse of incomprehension is equal to the sum of the squares of the discombobulation on the other two sides."

It's still a promissory note. One can even call it bill of exchange.

The term paper token is more used as a queue number.... If you are in line you get a paper with a number written on it.
