Group of three original "Di-faced Tenner" fake banknotes created by Banksy, featuring the portrait of Princess Diana of Wales (rather than Queen Elizabeth II) on the front, and "Banksy of England" replacing the traditional "Bank of England" text. The reverse features the standard design of Charles Darwin, with "Trust No One" beneath his portrait. Two are handsomely matted together and framed to an overall size of 11.25 x 12.75; one is unframed. In fine condition.
Accompanied by three letters of provenance from urban art dealer Eddie Lock, in part: "This Original Banksy 'Di Faced Tenner' was acquired from a very close source/member of the Banksy team. Banksy has used the Di Faced Tenners at the following public events: 1. Roseberry Avenue, London using his stenciling technique to show an ATM spilling out Di-Faced Tenners, 2. The Santa's Ghetto, 3. The Notting Hill Carnival." Additionally includes a 2018 gallery card promoting Eddie Lock's 'One More Light' show. Today, torn pieces of the Di-faced Tenners are used as a symbolic seal of authenticity on the majority of Pest Control authentication certificates.
