Britain's new £20 note features David Chipperfield's Turner Contemporary
The Bank of England has revealed its "most secure" banknote to date ? a £20 polymer note featuring David Chipperfield's Turner Contemporary gallery, and a portrait of the artist it's named after.
A large see-through window with a blue and gold foil is printed on the front of the note, depicting the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate, England, designed by architect David Chipperfield and the Margate lighthouse. The new design will be issued on 20 February 2020, and has been billed as the most secure banknote yet.
The new note was launched last week at the Turner Contemporary as a nod to the 18th-century artist who the gallery is named after, and whose self-portrait is featured on the reverse.
Turner is the first artist to feature on a British banknote.
