Twarz diabła:

W dolnej tylnej części włosów królowej Elżbiety znajduje się coś, co można zinterpretować jako nos i oczy, z uśmiechem i zaczesanymi do tyłu włosami. Zostało to zinterpretowane jako twarz diabła i szybko usunięte z powodu publicznego oburzenia.

Replacement :
→ Notes that were issued to replace notes that were damaged or destroyed before they were put into circulation. The symbol ✽ precedes the serial number on replacement notes.

 

Devil's face:

In the lower back part of Queen Elizabeth's hair, is what can interpreted as a nose and eyes, with a grin and slicked back hair. This was interpreted as a devil's face and removed quickly, due to public outrage.
