Harry Kane five pound notes are circulating in the UK – and you could cash in for £50,000 if you find one
Renowned British micro-engraver Graham Short has made just six of the notes, one for each of Golden Boot winner Kane’s goals at the World Cup, and has spent them in shops across the UK
Football may not be coming home after England missed out of lifting the World Cup, but fans could still net a fortune if they find one of six banknotes featuring Harry Kane’s face that are circulating in the UK.
A rare batch of £5 notes has been altered to include England striker Kane’s face on them, in celebration of his Golden Boot heroics at Russia 2018.
And the artist who made them has insured them for £50,000 (US$65,360), meaning anyone who finds one could expect to receive that amount at an auction.
Renowned British miniature engraver Graham Short made just six of the notes, which feature a five millimetre portrait of the England captain – one for each of Kane’s goals at this summer’s tournament.
The notes carry the engraving “World Cup Golden Boot Winner 2018” next to the picture of Kane.
The 72-year-old Short created a similar batch of rare fivers featuring the face of legendary British author Jane Austen, and released them into circulation in 2017. Those were also valued at £50,000 when they were released.
