Banknote 5 Great British Pound - King Charles III (5 pound / 5 GBP) Circulated
The polymer banknote with a denomination of £5 featuring the image of King Charles III was introduced into circulation by the Bank of England as part of the modernization process of British currency. The issuance of this banknote continues the tradition of depicting monarchs on British banknotes, and the image of King Charles III symbolizes a new chapter in the history of currency in the United Kingdom following his coronation.
On the obverse of the banknote, there is an image of King Charles III, which is a traditional element of British banknotes. This portrait is placed on the right end of the banknote. Surrounding the portrait are the words "Bank of England" and the denomination of the banknote "£5".
On the reverse of the banknote, there is an image of Sir Winston Churchill, one of the most famous Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. Churchill served as Prime Minister during World War II (1940-1945) and again from 1951 to 1955. His image was placed on the banknote to honor his contribution to the history of the United Kingdom. The banknote also features a quote from one of Churchill's most famous speeches delivered on May 13, 1940, in which he said, "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat."
