(P229K) The front is dominated by a portrait of Robert the Bruce, King of the Scots during the Scottish Independence Wars against the English in the 14th century. The date chosen for issue reflects Robert the Bruce’s birthday (11th July 1274) The back of the note depicts New Lanark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the River Clyde. We offer Crisp Uncirculated examples of the 2009 Thorburn £20 – the first of the last issued on paper.
