Five Pounds Lowther. B393. HA01 000005. This note was personally auctioned by the then Governor of the Bank of England, the late Lord George, at the beginning of a charity auction.

This note was the first ever auctioned by the Bank of England and henceforth the first note ever to be sold at auction above its face value by the bank. A brilliant, historically significant note.
