Features
Brief description The design of this historical banknote is a milestone in British numismatics, as it represents the first and only 10 Shilling note issued by the Bank of England to feature a portrait of the reigning monarch. The visual layout beautifully integrates royal portraiture with classical allegorical imagery.

Obverse: The right side of the composition features the young portrait of Queen Elizabeth II (known as the Series C portrait). On the left, a traditional seated figure of Britannia, the allegorical personification of the nation, is depicted. The background design is rendered in brown tones on a multicolored protective underprint with intricate guilloche structures.

Reverse: Framed within a circular medallion on the center-right side, the allegorical figure of Britannia is repeated. She is depicted seated with her protective shield, holding a spear and an olive branch, symbolizing both defensive strength and a desire for peace.

Watermark: A continuous vertical row of laureate heads positioned on the left side of the note.

Topical Collecting Themes: Queen Elizabeth II on currency, British monarchy and the Royal Family, allegorical figures and national symbols (Britannia, shield, spear, olive branch), masterworks by the prominent engraver Robert Austin, Bank of England Series C issues, pre-decimal currency system (pounds, shillings, pence) of Western Europe, signatures of the Chief Cashiers (O'Brien, Hollom, Fforde).
