Ways to Spot Authentic GBP

  1. On tilting the original pound horizontally, the denomination of the note, printed in words, changes to the word pound. This hologram is present at the bottom of the banknote.

  2. The metallic image in the window of an authentic pound sterling is silver on the back of all denomination notes. However, from the front view, it is golden for £5 and £10, gold and blue for £20, and gold and green for £50.

  3. All current Bank of England banknotes have raised print for words such as Bank of England. The same applies to the numerals in the bottom right corner of the £5 and £10 currencies.

  4. Under sufficient UV light, the denomination numeral on the top of the note appears in bright red and green color with a dark background.

  5. A genuine note comprises precise minute designs. Fake currencies would have them blurred or uneven.
