Overview
A blue and green polymer banknote featuring a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the front and Sir Winston Churchill on the back. It contains a large see-through window and gold/silver foil features.
Historical significance
This was the first polymer banknote issued by the Bank of England, marking a major shift away from traditional cotton paper to more durable, secure plastic currency.
Estimated value
Face value (£5) unless it features a rare serial number (e.g., starting with AA01).
Care & preservation
Store flat and avoid folding; do not expose to high heat or open flames as polymer can melt or shrink; clean only with a damp cloth if necessary.
