On the face of English banknotes one can read the denomination given both in figures and in words.
The inscription on the face of the banknote reads: I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of … . And then there are two signatures. The first signature is that of the person authorized by the Government and the Bank of England. The second signature is that of the Chief Cashier.
The backs of English banknotes, like many other banknotes, feature portraits of different famous people. The one-pound note, for example, features Isaac Newton, a well-known English scientist. The back of the twenty-pound note portrays William Shakespeare, the greatest playwright.
