Banknote 50 Great British Pound - King Charles III (50 pound / 50 GBP) Circulated

The banknote also includes fragments of his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers", technical drawings of the Bombe machine, and binary code representing his birth date – June 23, 1912. His famous quote from 1949: "This is only a foretaste of what is to come and only the shadow of what is going to be" is also included.
Security features:
The £50 note contains many advanced security features designed to prevent counterfeiting and to easily confirm authenticity:
Hologram image change: Tilting the banknote back and forth causes the words to shift between "Fifty" and "Pounds".
Two gold foil squares: On the front of the banknote, the images in two gold squares change between "50" and the "£" symbol when tilted.
Transparent window: On the front, the foil over the main window appears gold and green, while on the back, it is silver. There is also a smaller window in the lower corner of the note.
