British £50 Pound Banknote (King Charles III) Issued 2024

British pound banknotes are issued in different denominations by the Bank of England including this £50 pound banknote featuring King Charles III. This £50 banknote forms part of the current polymer series of British banknotes. This £50 note was issued in 2024 and remains legal tender throughout the United Kingdom.

This £50 polymer banknote is predominantly red and burgundy in colour. On the obverse side is a portrait of King Charles III facing left, positioned on the right-hand side of the note. To the left is a detailed background design inspired by Bletchley Park and early computing diagrams. A large transparent polymer window appears to the left of centre and contains a crown and a metallic security foil with colour-shifting elements that change between the word “Fifty” and a patterned symbol when tilted. The wording BANK OF ENGLAND and FIFTY POUNDS appears across the design together with the Chief Cashier’s signature and serial number.

On the reverse of the note is a portrait of Alan Turing, the mathematician and codebreaker, based on a photograph from the National Portrait Gallery. Behind the portrait are technical drawings and code-breaking references inspired by the Bombe and Enigma machines. To the left is a gold foil image of a cycling figure and a representation of the Turing machine tape, while beneath the portrait appears Turing’s handwritten formula and the quotation “This is only a foretaste of what is to come, and only the shadow of what is going to be.” The design also includes a large transparent window with intricate security patterns, a green £50 symbol and repeated micro-text of the value “50”.
