Current notes will continue to be legal tender.

NEWS RELEASE

The Bank of England will reveal images of updated banknotes featuring a portrait of HM King Charles III by the end of this year. The notes are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024.

His Majesty’s portrait will appear on existing designs of all four polymer banknotes (£5, £10, £20 and £50). This will be a continuation of the current polymer series and no additional changes to the banknote designs will be made.

In line with guidance from the Royal Household to minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change of monarch, existing stocks of notes featuring HM Queen Elizabeth II will continue to be issued into circulation. New notes will only be printed to replace worn banknotes and to meet any overall increase in demand for banknotes.

Current banknotes featuring the portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II will continue to be legal tender and will only be removed from circulation once they become worn or damaged. They will co-circulate with those featuring HM King Charles III.

Notes to editors

His Majesty’s portrait will feature on the front of the banknote, as well as in cameo in the see-through security window.

The current series of banknotes (series G) features the following characters in the designs: £5 – Winston Churchill, £10 – Jane Austen, £20 JMW Turner, £50 – Alan Turing.
HM Queen Elizabeth II first appeared on Bank of England banknotes in 1960.

The legal tender status of paper £20 and £50 notes will be withdrawn after 30 September 2022, as previously announced.

Expected. They already spent millions of pounds printing the polymer notes and on the burial. Printing fresh notes with the King’s image might harm the economy. They need time to recuperate.

So no more isi Eliza

A socalled democracy that genuflects before a human and sing their national anthem to him! Is that one still a democracy!? Who elected these people?

All the same, the smallest denomination of £5 is better than our biggest denomination of 1k
