LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II is the only woman now pictured on currency in England and Wales. That is about to change.

The Bank of England on Tuesday unveiled the final design for a 10-pound bank note bearing the likeness of the novelist Jane Austen, timed to mark the 200th anniversary of her death.

The polymer bill, worth about $13 at current exchange rates, will join its cousin, the £5 note featuring former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, which was introduced last year.

(Unlike the United States, no bank notes are issued in England and Wales for less than a “fiver.” Instead, the Royal Mint produces £1 and £2 coins; a 12-sided £1 coin was introduced in March.)
