The Bank of England’s first polymer £5 note will be issued beginning September 13 2016. The new Fiver’s includes a see-through window with a portrait of the Queen, and a detailed foil picture of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) which curiously is in gold on the front of the note and silver on the back.
