Bank of Scotland reveals two versions of 20-pound note

The Bank of Scotland has unveiled two versions of its new 20-pound note. The regular version has the familiar image of Sir Walter Scott on the front and the red Forth Bridge on the back (which was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2015).

There is also a commemorative version which has the same front, but the Queensferry Crossing over the Firth of Forth on the back. "Measuring 139 x 73 mm – compared to the current 149 x 80mm – the two notes are slightly smaller than existing paper £20 notes in circulation but are consistent with a new size to be issued by the Bank of England and other UK banks in 2020." This special issue can also be recognized by its serial number which has QF and QC as prefix.

Both notes will be printed by De La Rue on polymer (Guardian) substrate. The notes are expected to enter circulation early 2020.
