England (1960-1971)

This serie of banknotes belongs to the period of the history of England in which the Redcliffe-Maudy Report was produced, which changed the local organization of England, and the period of the United Kingdom marked by the growth and economic development, the conflict of Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants, the French veto for access to the European Economic Community (1963) and the decolonization of colonial territories.

There are banknotes of 10 shillings, 1 pound, 5 pounds and 10 pounds.
