Banksy’s Di-Face Tenner is an iconic, unusual, and early work on paper from 2004. Di-Faced Tenner is essentially counterfeit money representing £10 notes. At least 100,000 were printed — enough to total £1,000,000 in fake currency. It was created for a public stunt Banksy had orchestrated that involved dropping a suitcase full of the fake currency in public, during rush hour at the Liverpool tube station in London and at the Notting Hill Carnival and Reading Festival. Later that year, an unknown amount of Tenners were also released at the exhibition preview of Santa’s Ghetto, held at Lazarides Gallery.

Offered here is an original "Di-faced Tenner" fake banknotes created by Banksy, featuring the portrait of Princess Diana of Wales (rather than Queen Elizabeth II) on the front, and "Banksy of England" replacing the traditional "Bank of England" text. The reverse features the standard design of Charles Darwin, with "Trust No One" beneath his portrait. This particular note is housed in a Lucite case and is in overall fine condition.

Banksy Original Di-Faced Tenner Currency Note Featuring Princess Diana & Charles Darwin!
