The commemorative note features images of the Queen through the years, from the official palace photo taken of her in the 1940s to a picture of the Queen at Epsom Racecourse in 2008. The design is the third in RBS' royal series, which also includes a £20 note for The Queen Mother's 100th birthday in 2000 and a £5 note for the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. It celebrates the Queen's connections with Scotland and the bank, which was the first to include a portrait of the British monarch in 1727. The Bank of England began to feature the monarch in 1960. The new Diamond Jubilee note is legal tender and will available from Scottish RBS branches or on order. 2 million of the commemorative notes have been put into circulation, a week before celebrations for the jubilee begin.
