Description
The Ten Shilling Note
The Ten Shilling Note, or ‘ten bob’, was a goodly sum in the old days.
In the 1960’s it could buy 6 pints of beer, 10 loaves of bread, or 17 pints of milk.
It’s hard to imagine its decimal equivalent, the 50p, buying so much these days!
This old banknote has a fascinating history, from being issued by the Government in a wartime emergency,
changing colour to avoid forgery from the Nazis and eventually being replaced by the world’s most popular coin.
The Bank of England 10s note was a banknote of the pound sterling.
Ten shillings in pre-decimal money was equivalent to half of one pound.
Ten-shilling note was the smallest denomination note ever issued by the Bank of England. Wikipedia

Bank of England print errors are extremely rare,
but when a misprint occurs, it can boost the value of the affected notes.
Warwick & Warwick said notes that are missing a chief cashier signature could sell for £100 to £150,
while those missing the Queen’s head could sell for up to £200.
Sometimes errors are extremely subtle, like a slight colour change on the back of the note.
Spink suggested the more obvious the mistake, the higher the likely value of the note
but added that it’s extremely uncommon for errors to be found.
