  • Di-Faced Tenners Meaning & History

    I promise to pay the bearer on demand the ultimate price

    The first version of Banksy's Di-Faced Tenner was produced in 2004, on a single sheet with five counterfeit £10 banknotes, showing both sides, released as a signed and unsigned editions of 50. Banksy also released an edition of 32 artist proofs in a single tone colour. The relatively low edition size of this work continues to drive a high demand from collectors today.

     

    The title ‘Di-Faced’, plays on the word defaced creating a counterfeit parody of the £10 note by replacing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with that of the late Princess Diana. Instead of Bank of England, the note reads, ‘Banksy of England’ and below the banner, an inscription reads, ‘I promise to pay the bearer on demand the ultimate price’, a reference to the fate of the Princess. With regards to quality and production, the note is printed using inks on paper almost identical to that used on official UK-issued currency.

    Capitalism is a common theme in Banksy’s arsenal and the infamous artist holds no bars when approaching the subject. Works such as Festival and Very Little Helps highlight the dangers of powerful corporations and inequality. Explore other Banksy prints for sale.
