Comment

In 2010, Windsor Mint brought out a twelve-coin series commemorating British banknote designs. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity, with the front and back pages identical (apart from the issue number) and bearing the logo of the Bayerisches Münzkontor below this number. The inside pages provide technical information about the coin and the history about the specific banknote each coin commemorates. This coin shows the £50 Series E note, issued in 1994 during the Bank of England's tercentenary and showing Sir John Houblon. This denomination is the largest Pound Sterling note in circulation.
