In 2004, the British street artist and prankster Banksy created £1 million worth of Di-Faced Tenner bills. These satirical bills feature an image of the late Lady Diana instead of Queen Elizabeth II, issued by the "Banksy of England." The reverse side shows Charles Darwin and the phrase "Trust no one." Banksy has distributed these bills at events like the Notting Hill and Reading Festivals and spilled a briefcase full of them at the Liverpool tube station during rush hour. In 2019, the British Museum acquired a Di-Faced Tenner bill, marking its first Banksy acquisition and adding it to the coins and medals collection.
Price: £2,500.00.

Banksy's Soup Can is an intentional and overt reference to Andy Warhol's iconic 1962 Campbell's Soup Can paintings, which were subsequently turned into prints. While Warhol celebrated the endlessly replicated images of consumer culture, Banksy delivers a sharp critique of the supermarket behemoth that now dominates the modern market.
This comes with an original P.O.W invoice, validating its provenance and adding to its rarity as P.O.W was Banksy's primary distributor from 2003 to 2017.
