Your question Markmas

 

[MarkMas]

HUmmmm.... No questions about philosophers or art-school bands of the 1960s.....

 

[MarkMas]

What is the highest denomination banknote ever issued in the UK to feature a woman (not including Queen Elizabeth II), and who is/was the woman?

 

[2b1ask1]

I'm guessing Norn Iron £100 but never seen one to say who it is!

 

[daverichardson]

Flo Nightingale and that woman who reformed prisons have both been on notes, but I do not know which ones or when

 

[zagatoes30]

The Queen Mother was on a Scottish commemorative £20 bank note to celebrate her 100th birthday

True, but not the answer.
- Florence Nightingale was £10 from 1975 to 1994
- Elizabeth Fry was £5 from 2002 to 2017

The Queen Mother was on a Scottish commemorative £20 bank note to celebrate her 100th birthday

True, but not the answer:
- The Queen Mother was Royal Bank of Scotland £20 from 2000

....but interesting idea to include Scottish notes....

I thought you were being sneaky

 

[GeoffCapes]

Wasn't there a £1million pound note produced with Queen Victoria's boat on it.

Something to do with paying for a war?

 

[MarkMas]

I thought you were being sneaky

You were right; I was being sneaky.

 

[zagatoes30]

Elizabeth Fry was on an old £5 and Jane Austen is on the £10 and Florence Nightingale was on the old £10 but I suspect none of those are what you are looking for.

 

[zagatoes30]

You were right; I was being sneaky.

So we might be looking at some of the notes that were for internal bank use only and that were around when we had a queen other than Lizzy 2, which points to Lizzy 1 or Vicky. There were alsorts of strange denominations including £1 million pound denominations. As you can see I don't know just surmising

 

[zagatoes30]

Just had another brainwave - how about Brittania?

Which "strictly" aren't legal tender I believe - even in Scotland.

There was no mention of legal tender and most that are for sale are over £20

Ah, apologies, was just a general observation rather than specific comment. Was told years back that all Scottish notes aren't legal as they're not printed by BoE.
