Replicas of the British 1 Pound Banknote from 1940 (1940-1948), in original sizes (sheet size and number of notes do not correspond to the original). The notes on the sheet are printed in a printing house, clear and in high-resolution.

During the time of the First World War, due to a shortage of precious metals, 10 shilling and 1 pound notes were issued and had become firmly established. It was decided to continue maintaining these values as banknotes (the 1 pound banknotes, which had long disappeared from circulation before the First World War, were last issued in 1826). Thus, the Bank of England began issuing a completely new series of 10 shilling and 1 pound notes in 1928 (the 1 pound note seen here belonged to this new series). These new notes, in comparison to the higher denominations, known as "White Pounds" (which had been printed since 1725 with few changes), were quite different, being colored and printed on both sides instead of black and white and printed just on front. This new series was issued for a total of 32 years (in 6 different types), from 1928 to 1960 (with a significant color change between 1940 and 1948, as well as the addition of silver threads and a changed watermark as additional security features, from 1940 onwards).

Here you can see replicas of the 1940–1948 issuance, but I have already replicated all issuances from 1928 to 1960.
The mentioned issuances of the 1 pound notes, along with the corresponding signatures of the chief cashiers of the Bank of England, and changes (or peculiarities) were as follows:

1. Issuance: 1928 to 1929: Cyril Patrick Mahon (green print)
2. Issuance: 1929 to 1934: Basil G. Catterns (green print)
3. Issuance: 1934 to 1939: Kenneth Peppiatt (green print)
4. Issuance: 1940 to 1948: Kenneth Peppiatt (BLUE print)
5. Issuance: 1949 to 1955: Percival Beale (return to GREEN print)
6. Issuance: 1955 to 1960: Leslie Kenneth O'Brien (green print)

The issuances from 1940 onwards (maintained until 1948) were printed in a different color (in blue-reddish/brownish instead of green-greyish/bluish) and were a contingency measure due to the Second World War and the rapid advance of German troops. This approach aimed to prevent potentially captured British banknotes (in denominations of 10 shillings and 1 pound, which constituted the majority of the circulating banknotes) from being used by the enemy to purchase crucial war supplies.

If you're wondering why the sample images you see here are rather pixelated and not razor-sharp, and whether my artworks also look like that, well, I can only say the following: I don't create all these things with painstaking effort just to put them online and have them printed for free. And yes, the print quality of my work is razor-sharp.

For banknotes replicated by me, where the originals contain security features such as watermarks, silver threads, holograms, luminescent threads, metallic colors, fluorescent colors, etc., these security features are, of course, only present as a print (within the entire image of the replica). No ordinary printing house offers such types of paper and security features, and even if they did, the costs would be so high that I would either have to buy hundreds of thousands of pieces in advance (to bring the cost per piece down to an affordable level) or offer the replicas at such high prices that hardly anyone would still be interested in them.

The replicas are, of course, double-sided like the originals (meaning there are not 2 sheets per artwork but rather one double-sided printed sheet, front and back as it should be).

Replicas of the Romanian 500 Lei Banknote from January 1991, in original sizes with individual and consecutive serial numbers, as a whole sheet (sheet size and number of notes do not correspond to the original). The notes on the sheet are printed in a printing house, clear and in high-resolution.

This 500 Lei banknote, from January 1991, was the first banknote issued by the newly founded democratic state after the Romanian Revolution of 1989. Due to rapidly rising inflation, the provisional reissue started with the value of 500. There were two issues in total, one from January (Ianuarie) and one from April (Aprilie) 1991, as indicated on the right side of the banknote's front. On the January issue, the inscription (BANCA NATIONALA A ROMANIEI) is slightly larger on front and back, and the date of issue is placed further to the right compared to the April issue. Here you see replicas of the January issue, though I have replicated both issues. Due to inflation, a 1,000 Lei banknote had to be issued by September 1991, which had a completely different design. Consequently, it was decided to use this as an example for a completely new series, leading to the gradual replacement of the 500 Lei banknote with a new one (matching the new series) starting from December 1992.

Replicas of the German 50 Reichsmark Banknote from April 1st, 1945, in original sizes (sheet size and number of notes do not correspond to the original). The notes on the sheet are printed in a printing house, clear and in high-resolution.

These Reichsmark banknotes were printed on behalf of the German Wehrmacht in the final months of World War II. Due to the enormous shortage of currency in the chaos of the last months of the war (and with no other printing methods available at short notice), banknotes of 5, 10, 50, and 100 Reichsmark were reproduced using photomechanical processes (however, there are no publicly known examples of the 5 Reichsmark banknote from this issue, which was also officially announced and thus documented at the time). These emergency issues were intended to pay the wages of German troops stationed in the so-called Reichsgaue of Salzburg, Upper Danube, and Styria (all areas in present-day Austria). For all these issues, the text with the penalty threat for counterfeiting was added to the front side (although already present on the reverse side) and an individual serial number was omitted, so all banknotes of a particular value bore the same serial number (the serial number of the original banknote used for the copying process). These banknotes were considered valid currency from April 1, 1945, until August 10, 1945 (throughout the entire Reich territory), but in the occupied Austria only until July 26, 1945. It should also be noted that the size of these emergency issues differs slightly from the originals. Apparently, the copies used for printing were not reproduced true to the original size. Before you ask, yes, the print quality of the originals is just as blurry and grainy as you can see here with the replicas, due to the printing method used at the time.

Replicas of the Spanish 100 Pesetas Banknote from August 15th, 1928, in original sizes with individual and consecutive serial numbers, as a whole sheet (sheet size and number of notes do not correspond to the original). The notes on the sheet are printed in a printing house, clear and in high-resolution.

All issues from 1928, of 100, 500, and 1,000 Pesetas, were no longer circulated during the monarchy under King Alfonso XIII of Spain, but were instead issued at the beginning of the Second Spanish Republic, declared on April 14th, 1931, as a sort of interim solution. Already on April 24th, 1931, the Republic began issuing a new series of banknotes ranging in denominations from 25 to 1,000 Pesetas. It is worth mentioning that the Spanish Monarchy, since September 13th, 1923, was actually a right-wing dictatorship under the leadership of General Miguel Primo de Rivera, Marqués de Estella. This dictatorship, agreed upon with the king, was intended to end the recurring Spanish state crises, but exacerbated the situation to the extent that it led to the end of the monarchy and the founding of a republic. According to records, during the time of the Second Republic, and extending into the Spanish Civil War, multiple issues circulated simultaneously, including the 1928 releases. This is likely due to the fact that the country did not experience peace as it was completely divided, and conditions were very chaotic, ultimately leading to the terrible Spanish Civil War and the establishment of a new dictatorship.

Replicas of the so-called Hundred-Thousand-Dollar Bill, which was issued in the United States in 1934 and 1935 solely for internal bank purposes. Only about 42,000 of these notes were printed, and most of the originals were destroyed after they were no longer needed, except for a few that can be seen in museums today (and a very small number that ended up in the hands of unknown collectors). Since these banknotes were never approved for public circulation, their private ownership is considered stolen U.S. property, which explains the anonymity of the private collectors.

This $100,000 Gold Certificate is the highest denomination banknote ever issued in the U.S. and, like the other Gold Certificate issues of 1934 and 1935 (in denominations of $100, $1,000, and $10,000), was not intended for public circulation but solely for transactions in gold between the American Federal Reserve Banks. Since all U.S. banknotes switched from Large Size to Small Size starting in 1928, this banknote was also issued in Small Size.

It is also worth noting that from May 1, 1933, U.S. citizens were legally prohibited from owning gold worth more than $100 (at the time), with violations punishable by up to 10 years in prison (Executive Order 6102). In 2023, this banknote would have had a purchasing power equivalent to almost $2.3 million.

Because of authenticity, I refuse to repeat a serial number once it's been printed (yes, I keep track of all replicas and their previously printed serial numbers), so only the first 42,000 pieces of this banknote replica will have an authentic serial number. And after that, well, my dear, it's all just pure imagination, and the subsequent replicas are only for those who couldn't care less.

If, however, you happen to come across one of the replicas with the serial number you see in the photos, it simply means that I haven't used that particular serial number yet, and you're the lucky one who now has it. The serial numbers you see in the photos are only used for illustration purposes. Additionally, I don't always use serial numbers consecutively during printing (for example, from 000001 to 999999). When I have some time, I start at a specific point and stop somewhere in the middle, then start elsewhere, and so on. I do this because I want to create a certain diversity, as far as my time allows, rather than a simple, consecutive sequence from 1 to the last possible serial number.

The 100 Lei banknote from 1966, like all denominations from 1 to 100 Lei, was issued by the "Banca Naţională a Republicii Socialiste România" (National Bank of the Socialist Republic of Romania) between 1966 and 1989 (the year of the Romanian Revolution). Throughout the entire issuance period, only the original issue year (1966) was printed on all these banknotes. It was still used as legal tender until the end of 1992, although a 100 Lei coin was introduced into circulation in 1991, and it ceased to be valid as legal tender at the beginning of 1993.

Throughout the entire issuance period, only the original issue year (1966) was printed on all these banknotes. Although it remained valid as legal tender until 1992, this banknote completely disappeared from circulation around 1991 when it was replaced by a coin (the 50 Lei coin from 1991).
