Nice topic! I'll have to go through my world notes collection yet again. I'm sure at least ONE vingnette has a lighthouse!

I really love lighthouses!
I went through my collection and found a few.
- Among them is the "Lighthouse of Lighthouses" on the Dutch 250 guilder note, P-98a. There's another one on the front of the note.
- There's also one on the Bermuda 5 dollar note, P-29b, which is also featured on P-51a.
- One is somewhat subtle on the Argentinian note, P-362a.
- Beautifully situated on a high cliff, the Saint Corbière Lighthouse on Jersey, P-27a.
- The "Hanois Lighthouse" is on the Guernsey 5 pound note, P-56a, among others.
- Finally, the 18th-century Maiden Tower (K#305;z Kulesi), or Leander's Tower, in the Bosphorus in Turkey, P-186.

That 250 Gulden note is extremely valuable. I only was able to buy one myself when I started to make good money.

The lighthouse is at Margate, where the Turner Gallery is located (Turner's portrait is on the reverse).

I forgot to show it earlier, but here is my Dutch 250 gulden note.

The lighthouse depicted on the note is the "Westerlichttoren" in Nieuw-Haamstede.

Great note, NumisEd! I went to the Netherlands quite a few times in the 1980s and 1990s but couldn't afford to save anything higher than a 10DG note from circulation!

Great add Rob! I forgot about that one (& have a £20 with a BL prefix but didn't scan it).
