Currency Heritage & Collectable Memorabilia

The £1 note was a staple of everyday life in Britain until its replacement by the £1 coin in 1983. Notes featuring Queen Elizabeth II became iconic symbols of national identity, and today they are valued not only for their monetary history but also for their cultural resonance.
