The Jane Austen portrait. Brits are being urged to check their new fivers after engraved bank notes worth as much as £50,000 were circulated in a Willie Wonka-style 'Golden Ticket' giveaway. See NTI story NTINOTE. Tiny portraits of Jane Austen have been added to four of the new £5 notes by talented micro-engraver Graham Short. The 70-year-old painstakingly carved tiny 5mm portraits of the novelist onto the polymer cash, next to the images of Sir Winston Churchill and Big Ben. Classic quotes from Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park have also been engraved on to the Bank of England notes, which went into circulation last weekend. The outline of the golden engraving ise visible to the naked eye - but a microscope will be needed to see it properly. Art experts are estimating that the four fivers could be worth up to £50,000 after collectors forked out thousands to buy notes with unusual serial numbers.

Spot this rare engraving on your fiver and you could make £20,000
