Queen Elizabeth

 

This photograph was subtitled "Past and Present". 

What an amazing life she lived and I think almost everyone would admire the way she navigated a difficult job regardless of how you might feel about the idea of royalty. 

This came up while I was googling Queen Elizabeth. I never saw one of these but I imagine they will be worth more than $20 now.

FIRST SERIES $20 NOTE

Printed by Canadian Bank Note Company Ltd., the $20 note features a portrait of 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth (granddaughter of King George V and later Queen Elizabeth II). The engraving for the note, completed by Edwin Gunn of American Bank Note Company, was based on a Marcus Adams photograph of the princess. The image on the back, based on a painting by Alonzo Foringer, shows two allegorical figures representing toil.
