The new-style £50 note, featuring the renowned 18th century business partnership of entrepreneur Matthew Boulton and engineer James Watt, enters circulation on 2 November 2011.
The banknote will be the second in the Series F 'family' which began with the introduction of the Adam Smith £20 note in 2007. It will be the first time two portraits have appeared together on the reverse of a Bank of England banknote.
A range of new and enhanced security features have been incorporated into the design of the Boulton and Watt £50 banknote. Full details of these will be revealed when the new banknote is introduced into circulation.
This banknote will be the first in circulation to be signed by Chris Salmon, who was appointed as the Bank's Executive Director - Banking Services and Chief Cashier in April 2011.
