Description
The 1981 Bank of England £1 note features a distinctive design and notable security features. It is predominantly dark green on a multicoloured background, with the serial number printed in black.
The obverse of the note highlights a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Harry Eccleston, wearing a court robe, positioned on the right side. The inscriptions "BANK OF ENGLAND", "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ON DEMAND THE SUM OF ONE POUND" and "LONDON" are clearly printed, accompanied by the mention "FOR THE GOVr. AND COMPa. OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND".
The reverse of the note depicts Sir Isaac Newton, positioned in the center right. Grey guilloche patterns adorn the lower left and right corners, adding visual complexity to the design. It is important to note that a later revised version of the note features light green guilloches.
This £1 note measures 135 mm in length and 67 mm in width. It is part of the CN series of English banknotes.
The combination of design elements, portraits, and security features makes this banknote a significant example of British fiat currency from that era.
