Explore English Notaphily: Antique Banknotes of the Monarchy and Innovation

Immerse yourself in the majestic world of English banknotes , where each vintage note is a testament to the millennia-old history, monarchy, and financial innovation of England, the heart of the United Kingdom. At Iberoamericana Banknotes , we present our collection of vintage English banknotes , meticulously curated for expert collectors and new buyers passionate about the monetary heritage of the nation that gave birth to the pound sterling , the oldest currency still in circulation. Vintage English banknotes are issued exclusively by the Bank of England and represent the only official paper version of the pound sterling, universally accepted throughout the UK and beyond.

The Monetary Evolution of England: From Old Banknotes to the Pound Sterling

The Bank of England , founded in 1694, was the first central bank in the world to systematically issue antique banknotes . The earliest black and white £5 notes (1694) were handwritten promises to pay. The modern series began in 1725 with denominations of £10, £20, and £50. Following World War II, color antique banknotes featuring Queen Elizabeth II were introduced. In 2016, England launched the polymer series , but the paper antique banknotes (valid until 2022) remain highly sought after for their historical value.

Our collection includes rare vintage banknotes from England , such as:

• White Notes (1725-1928) in 5, 10 and 20 pounds, with handwritten signatures and wax seals.
