The 50 Pounds banknote P-133, valued at US$63.72 or €54.79, is a tribute to value and heritage. Adorned in a striking red hue and measuring 146 x 76 mm, this note is a tangible representation of financial worth, as well as a celebration of historical significance.
The front of the banknote features a holographic foil stripe, showcasing the image of ‘Prosperity’ below the pediment of the Mound, alongside a thistle motif in the background. A depiction of Sir Walter Scott and the iconic Bank of Scotland building in Edinburgh add a touch of grandeur. Flipping the note, the back presents the Falkirk ship lifting wheel, symbolizing innovation. The poem “Steam Barge” by William Muir adds a poetic dimension, reflecting the nation’s cultural richness.
Security measures are carefully integrated, including a windowed security thread. Crafted by De La Rue in London, this note reflects precision in security printing. While a watermark is absent, the design incorporates modern security features to prevent counterfeiting.
The date “1st June 2020” marks its creation, and the signatures of António Horta-Osório and P. Grant add a personal touch. The note stands as a testament to the nation’s heritage and its ongoing pursuit of prosperity.
