‘I promise to pay the bearer on demand the ultimate price’

Di Faced Tenners are counterfeit £10 notes, printed on both sides. “Di-Faced” is a play on the word “defaced” and refers to the fact that Banksy has altered the British currency by replacing the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with that of the late Princess Diana. This is unquestionably a reference to Princess Diana’s estrangement from the Royal family, her critique of the British royal institution, and the hounding by the press that eventually ensued.

or a whole load of average ones, to get over you”
