This note from the Governor of the Bank of England in the original anti reflective museum glass frame with a note reading "From The Governor Of The / Bank of England / Note No. 5 of New Series 1999". It appears the note has not been glued in the frame and is held by precisely placed small holders with a small gap for each corner of the note to be inserted in. It has become a common tradition for the Bank of England to hold back the first printed notes with low or symbolic serial numbers when a new issue is released. Such notes are attributed to dignitaries, royalty and institutions that usually receive or were involved in the development of the new issue, for example Her Majesty the Queen traditionally receives the very first 000001 note, the Churchill War Rooms received the new Polymer Churchill 5 Pound note with the end of World War II year serial number AA01 001945, and the Winchester Cathedral received the new Polymer Jane Austen 10 Pound note with a serial number AA01 001817 marking the year that Jane Austen was buried there.

In regard to this note the serial numbers prior to this one were reportedly donated as follows to H.M. the Queen, the Prime Minister, the Bank of England Governor and the Chancellor.
