The Bank of England £10 note expected to fetch £26,000 at auction
The 1895 £10 note, likely the only one in private hands, is estimated to fetch up to £26,000 at Noonans Mayfair auction next week, highlighting its rarity.
- On Wednesday at Noonans Mayfair auction house, a rare 1895 Bank of England £10 banknote is expected to sell for up to £26,000.
- Andrew Pattison, head of the banknote department at Noonans, explains the 1895 £10 note signed by Horace Bowen is likely the only surviving example in private hands.
- Notably, the £10 represents one of the first issues from the 1855 design update issued in Birmingham, with the auction also listing a £5 note estimated at £18,000-£22,000.
- The Bank of England says a second consultation this summer will gather views on wildlife imagery, with responses exceeding 44,000, before new notes are issued years later.
- It will be several years before the new banknotes are issued, and representation of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be an important factor in the design.
