Queen Elizabeth’s aging process shown on currency notes from around the world... 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 the interesting site maintained by international banknote expert Peter Symes. Here is Elizabeth through the years, on money.
