About this banknote
The Bank of England issued this 10 shilling note, Pick 373a, in 1960. This series was introduced during a period of modernization in British currency. It marked the continued issue of banknotes featuring prominent figures from British society, in response to the growing use of paper money over coinage.
The banknote's front shows a portrait of a monarch, with intricate red and cream design elements and an inscription of the denomination. The back features an image of Britannia, a classical figure holding a trident and shield, surrounded by geometric patterns. This note was part of the transition toward decimalization in the UK.
