Rachel Bluwstein Sela (1890 - 1931), known in Hebrew as Rachel the Poetess or Rachel, was an Hebrew language poet, current Israeli banknote of 20 Shekels:


Security band and water signs show Rachel portrait:

The original photo used as a model to design the banknote:

I was looking thru some banknotes & noticed the different iterations of Queen Elizabeth from the various Commonwealth countries. Being from Canada, I'm most used to our profiles which changes every few decades as our monarch aged. For comparison, here's a 1973 Canadian dollar bill, these bills were the last good reverses showing Canadiana before the stupid birds. No dollar for us anymore since we went to the Loonie.

This 1965 East Caribbean Currency Authority dollar bill also used the same profile of the Queen as the Fiji bill. They also used a profile of her wearing her crown in the watermark.

@Diverdude I started a thread on this topic just a few below this one.

Outstanding examples!

This is a 1977 Denmark 10 Kroner note. From Numista, a description:

The 10-krone banknote was issued on 8 April 1975 and has been withdrawn since 11 March 1980, when it was replaced by a coin. The portrait on the face of the banknote is of Cathrine Sophie Kirchhoff, nee Christensen, who was married to Johan Henrik Kirchhoff, Councillor of State. The portrait was painted in 1768 by Jens Juel (1745-1802). The original painting is in the collection of the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle. The eider on the reverse was reproduced from a 1909 watercolour, "Queen eider", by the painter and graphic artist Johannes Larsen (1867-1961).
The Note has a security tread. In Prefix A0-A4 it is black, and A4 to B8 it is light. So A4 exist with both a black and a light security tread.
The signature to right is always "Valeur"(Chef for Seddelfaget/"Head af Notes") the signature to the left is from one of the 3 Govenors af the National Bank.

This is a pretty note. 1997 100 Korún banknote from Slovakia. Numista descriptions:
