International Banknotes That Show Queen Elizabeth’s Aging Process
 
Queen Elizabeth II has, of course, been pictured on British currency for much of her reign, but she has also appeared on the money of various British Commonwealth states and Crown dependencies. With such a long reign (61 years so far) and so many nations issuing money with her image on it over the years, there are enough banknote portraits to construct a sort of aging timeline for the Queen. The age given below for each portrait is her age when the picture was made, which is not always the same as the year the banknote was issued (more information can be found at this interesting site maintained by international banknote expert Peter Symes). Here is Elizabeth through the years, on money.
1. Canada, 20 dollars, age 8

She was just a princess then. Her picture appeared on Canadian banknotes long before anything issued by the Bank of England.
 
2. Canada, 1 dollar, age 25

From a portrait taken by a Canadian photographer the year before she ascended the throne.
 
3.  Jamaica, 1 pound, age 26

Newly queen.
 
4. Mauritius, 5 rupees, age 29

From a painting commissioned in the 1950s by the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, for Fishmongers’ Hall in London.
 
5. Cayman Islands, 100 dollars, age 34

Here she’s wearing the Russian style Kokoshnik tiara.
 
6. Australia, 1 dollar, age 38

Not long after this portrait was taken, she would meet the Beatles.
 
7. St. Helena, 5 pounds, age 40

Perfecting the art of looking casual while wearing bling.
 
8. Isle of Man, 50 pounds, age 51

More bling for this portrait from her Silver Jubilee.
 
9. Jersey, 1 pound, age 52

Wisdom, experience, soulful eyes.
 
10. Australia 5 dollars, age 58

The confidence to go casual.
 
11. New Zealand, 20 dollars, age 60

Not the most flattering one. The green tint doesn’t help.
 
12. Gibraltar, 50 pounds, age 66

Silver hair and shiny diamonds. From a photograph taken at Buckingham Palace.
 
13. Fiji, 5 dollars, age 73

More silver hair, more shiny diamonds, and not so much smoothing of the wrinkles.
 
14. Jersey, 100 pounds, age 78

Face lined, eyes sparkly. She is looking right at you, and she looks good.
 
15. Canada, 20 dollars, age 85

Back to Canada, where it all began, and where they like their Queen a bit laid back.

One thing hasn't changed much -the hairdo. That must be the official portrait hair style.

Hey Duggee ...... how did your trip go?

[duggee27]

Which one ?
Actually , in manhatton sitting in lounge room of my very pregnant daughter watching gridiron, recovering from thanksgiving lunch, and planning a shopping day for tomorrow as sales are on . . Also seek out some coin shops :yahoo:
Also.... It's 0 degrees:dodgy:

Sounds excellent Duggee! (Apart from the temperature). Here was me thinking you must be back. Good luck with the shopping.

I should have posted this on your original thread. I'll ask PPH to move it for me.
