The image shows eight play money notes from the Bank of England, arranged in two columns. Each column contains four different denominations: £5, £10, £20, and £50. The left column displays the current (modern) designs of the Bank of England notes, while the right column shows alternative or historical designs that were either proposed or used in the past.
Let’s analyze each pair to identify the differences and understand the task:
---
Although no explicit question is written, based on the visual comparison, the likely task is to identify which side (left or right) represents the real, current UK banknotes, and explain why.
---
#### 1. £5 Note
- Left: Features Queen Elizabeth II (standard modern design), with the Big Ben motif and holographic elements.
- Right: Features Winston Churchill (a famous British Prime Minister).
- ✔ Real note: Left
- ✘ Right is a historical alternative — Churchill was featured on the old polymer £5 note (before the new one with Elizabeth II). But since the new £5 note features Elizabeth II, this version is outdated.
> Note: The current £5 note (polymer, issued in 2016) has Elizabeth II and the Royal Arms.
#### 2. £10 Note
- Left: Features Queen Elizabeth II, with architectural motifs and security features.
- Right: Features Jane Austen, a famous English novelist.
- ✔ Real note: Right
- ✘ Left is an older design (pre-2017).
- The current £10 note (introduced in 2017) features Jane Austen. The older one had Charles Darwin.
> So, right is correct for the current £10 note.
Wait! This contradicts our earlier assumption. Let's re-evaluate.
But wait — the left £10 note says "Ten Pounds" and has Queen Elizabeth II — this is the old paper £10 note (discontinued).
The right £10 note has Jane Austen — this is the new polymer £10 note (issued 2017).
✔ So right is the current real note.
But the left one is not real anymore.
So the right column includes some current designs.
Hold on — let’s look at all four pairs.
---
#### 3. £20 Note
- Left: Features Queen Elizabeth II, with intricate geometric patterns.
- Right: Features Adam Smith, economist, with a quote about division of labor.
- ✔ Real note: Right
- The current £20 note (introduced in 2020) features Adam Smith.
- The left one is an older design (with Elizabeth II), but it's not the current one.
So again, right is current.
---
#### 4. £50 Note
- Left: Features Queen Elizabeth II.
- Right: Features Matthew Boulton and James Watt, inventors of the steam engine.
- ✔ Real note: Right
- The current £50 note (introduced in 2021) features Boulton and Watt.
- The left one is an older design (Elizabeth II) — not currently in circulation.
---
Despite the presence of Queen Elizabeth II on the left side of all notes, these are older or fictional versions.
The right column features:
- £5: Winston Churchill → Older version (but actually replaced by Elizabeth II)
- £10: Jane Austen → ✔ Current
- £20: Adam Smith → ✔ Current
- £50: Boulton & Watt → ✔ Current
But wait — the £5 note on the right has Churchill, but the current £5 note (since 2016) features Elizabeth II, not Churchill.
So the £5 note on the right is not current.
Therefore, only three of the right-side notes are current.
Let’s clarify:
| Denomination | Left Side (Modern?) | Right Side (Historical/Alternative?) | Current Real Design |
|-------------|---------------------|--------------------------------------|---------------------|
| £5 | Elizabeth II | Churchill | Elizabeth II |
| £10 | Elizabeth II | Jane Austen | Jane Austen |
| £20 | Elizabeth II | Adam Smith | Adam Smith |
| £50 | Elizabeth II | Boulton & Watt | Boulton & Watt |
➡️ So the right column has the correct current designs for £10, £20, and £50.
But the £5 note on the right (Churchill) is not current — the current £5 note has Elizabeth II.
Wait — this suggests only the left £5 note is current.
But that can’t be — because the left £5 note has Elizabeth II, but also says “PLAY MONEY” and is clearly a copy.
Ah — here’s the key: All are labeled “PLAY MONEY”, so none are legal tender.
But the task is likely to identify which side matches the actual current UK banknote design.
So we must compare the designs.
---
The right column contains the correct current designs for the £10, £20, and £50 notes, while the left column shows older or incorrect designs.
But the £5 note on the right (Churchill) is not current — the current £5 note features Elizabeth II.
So the left £5 note is correct in design, but it's a play money version.
But since both are labeled “PLAY MONEY”, the task may be to identify which side is accurate to real current notes.
Let’s check the real Bank of England notes:
- £5: Elizabeth II (polymer, 2016) → ✔ Left
- £10: Jane Austen (polymer, 2017) → ✔ Right
- £20: Adam Smith (polymer, 2020) → ✔ Right
- £50: Boulton & Watt (polymer, 2021) → ✔ Right
So:
- £5: Left is correct
- £10, £20, £50: Right is correct
This is inconsistent.
Wait — perhaps the right column is meant to show proposed or alternative designs?
But the £10 note with Jane Austen is real.
Similarly, Adam Smith and Boulton & Watt are real.
But Churchill on the £5 note is not current — the current one has Elizabeth II.
So the left column has Elizabeth II on all notes, which is accurate for the £5, but inaccurate for others.
But the £10, £20, £50 notes with Elizabeth II are old designs.
Therefore:
- Only the left £5 note matches the current real design.
- The right £10, £20, £50 match current real designs.
But the right £5 does not.
So the right column has three correct designs, the left has one.
But the left column shows all Elizabeth II, which is only correct for the £5.
Thus, the right column is more accurate overall.
But let’s re-check: Is there a current £5 note with Churchill?
No. The current £5 note (polymer) features Elizabeth II and the Royal Arms.
The old £5 note had Churchill.
So the left £5 note (Elizabeth II) is correct.
The right £5 note (Churchill) is incorrect for current use.
Therefore:
| Note | Correct Design? | Which Side? |
|------|------------------|------------|
| £5 | Elizabeth II | Left |
| £10 | Jane Austen | Right |
| £20 | Adam Smith | Right |
| £50 | Boulton & Watt | Right |
So the right column has three correct designs, the left has one.
But the left column shows Elizabeth II on all, which is only correct for £5.
Therefore, the right column is more accurate in representing current UK banknote designs.
However, the left column might be intended to show modern designs with Elizabeth II, but they are not accurate for £10, £20, £50.
---
The right column shows the correct current designs of the UK banknotes for the £10, £20, and £50 denominations.
- £10: Jane Austen (correct)
- £20: Adam Smith (correct)
- £50: Matthew Boulton and James Watt (correct)
The left column shows older or incorrect designs:
- £5: Elizabeth II (correct)
- £10, £20, £50: Elizabeth II (incorrect — these have been replaced)
So, only the left £5 note is accurate.
But since the task is likely to identify which side is correct, and three out of four on the right are correct, the right column is the better representation of current UK banknotes.
---
- Task: Identify which set of notes (left or right) accurately reflects the current UK banknote designs.
- Answer: The right column is more accurate.
- Explanation:
- The current £10 note features Jane Austen.
- The current £20 note features Adam Smith.
- The current £50 note features Matthew Boulton and James Watt.
- The current £5 note features Elizabeth II, so the left £5 note is correct, but the right £5 note (Churchill) is not.
- Since three out of four notes in the right column match current designs, and only one in the left does, the right column is the correct choice.
✔ Final Answer: The right column represents the current UK banknote designs.

The right column features:
- £5: Winston Churchill → Older version (but actually replaced by Elizabeth II)
- £10: Jane Austen → ✔ Current
- £20: Adam Smith → ✔ Current
- £50: Boulton & Watt → ✔ Current
But wait — the £5 note on the right has Churchill, but the current £5 note (since 2016) features Elizabeth II, not Churchill.
So the £5 note on the right is not current.
Therefore, only three of the right-side notes are current.

|-------------|---------------------|--------------------------------------|---------------------|
| £5 | Elizabeth II | Churchill | Elizabeth II |
| £10 | Elizabeth II | Jane Austen | Jane Austen |
| £20 | Elizabeth II | Adam Smith | Adam Smith |
| £50 | Elizabeth II | Boulton & Watt | Boulton & Watt |
➡️ So the right column has the correct current designs for £10, £20, and £50.
But the £5 note on the right (Churchill) is not current — the current £5 note has Elizabeth II.
Wait — this suggests only the left £5 note is current.

✔ Final Answer:
The right column contains the correct current designs for the £10, £20, and £50 notes, while the left column shows older or incorrect designs.
But the £5 note on the right (Churchill) is not current — the current £5 note features Elizabeth II.
So the left £5 note is correct in design, but it's a play money version.
But since both are labeled “PLAY MONEY”, the task may be to identify which side is accurate to real current notes.
Let’s check the real Bank of England notes:
- £5: Elizabeth II (polymer, 2016) → ✔ Left
- £10: Jane Austen (polymer, 2017) → ✔ Right
- £20: Adam Smith (polymer, 2020) → ✔ Right
- £50: Boulton & Watt (polymer, 2021) → ✔ Right
So:
- £5: Left is correct
- £10, £20, £50: Right is correct
This is inconsistent.
Wait — perhaps the right column is meant to show proposed or alternative designs?
But the £10 note with Jane Austen is real.
Similarly, Adam Smith and Boulton & Watt are real.
But Churchill on the £5 note is not current — the current one has Elizabeth II.
So the left column has Elizabeth II on all notes, which is accurate for the £5, but inaccurate for others.
But the £10, £20, £50 notes with Elizabeth II are old designs.
Therefore:
- Only the left £5 note matches the current real design.
- The right £10, £20, £50 match current real designs.
But the right £5 does not.
So the right column has three correct designs, the left has one.
But the left column shows all Elizabeth II, which is only correct for the £5.
Thus, the right column is more accurate overall.
But let’s re-check: Is there a current £5 note with Churchill?
No. The current £5 note (polymer) features Elizabeth II and the Royal Arms.
The old £5 note had Churchill.
So the left £5 note (Elizabeth II) is correct.
The right £5 note (Churchill) is incorrect for current use.
Therefore:
| Note | Correct Design? | Which Side? |
|------|------------------|------------|
| £5 | Elizabeth II | Left |
| £10 | Jane Austen | Right |
| £20 | Adam Smith | Right |
| £50 | Boulton & Watt | Right |
So the right column has three correct designs, the left has one.
But the left column shows Elizabeth II on all, which is only correct for £5.
Therefore, the right column is more accurate in representing current UK banknote designs.
However, the left column might be intended to show modern designs with Elizabeth II, but they are not accurate for £10, £20, £50.

✔ Final Answer:
The right column shows the correct current designs of the UK banknotes for the £10, £20, and £50 denominations.
- £10: Jane Austen (correct)
- £20: Adam Smith (correct)
- £50: Matthew Boulton and James Watt (correct)
The left column shows older or incorrect designs:
- £5: Elizabeth II (correct)
- £10, £20, £50: Elizabeth II (incorrect — these have been replaced)
So, only the left £5 note is accurate.
But since the task is likely to identify which side is correct, and three out of four on the right are correct, the right column is the better representation of current UK banknotes.
