It entered circulation in 1910 as the bank’s first multicoloured note, after years of work on four-colour printing. Beauty and security were partners in the enterprise: a more intricate picture was also a more difficult thing to counterfeit. On the original, allegorical figures gave work and exchange human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur small chest specimen keeps the denomination and the note’s decorative language. The back lets that language breathe: a seated woman, blue and terracotta folds, wheat, flowers, and the unhurried gravity of classical illustration. This is an interpretation of the source’s world, with room around it for ordinary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA useful thing can carry an extravagant imagination. That is one of the discoveries waiting in old money: the business of buying bread once involved passing a small public painting from hand to hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIMEN \u0026amp; ISSUE — A Breach in Taste\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal currencies, encountered twice: an adapted archival specimen at the left chest and an original artistic interpretation across the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE SHIRT\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed unisex tee with a relaxed fit and substantial 6.1 oz, 100% ring-spun cotton fabric.
