Johnny 1989 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi, apologies if this has been discussed before. I have two of these notes in my collection (three, not including the bad conditioned one I have). I Have noticed there are slight differences to these two notes: First off the uncirculated C.E.A. Kentfield £5 (front & Back) Front Back Now compare this to a early circulated (although very good condition for age, especially seeing as I got hold of this just before the Stephenson £5's were withdrawn in 2003) Gim Gill £5 Front Back The Queens face looks a bit different in the Gim Gill version, certain colours are lighter too, the £5 in the corner is much lighter in the Gim Gill one but Britannia's hair / veil is darker. The back is different also but less notable, the £5 in the top left corner on the Gim Gill note is lighter in colour and also the outline isn't as thick. Anyone know why this is so & also when they changed to the later style, I don't remember the Gim Gill style ones that well. Also just incase anyone points it out, I know the pattern in the circle isn't in the centre on the C.E.A. Kentfield version but this was common (for some reason) on the Stephenson £5's Any info greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
