This BANKSY "Devolved Parliament" uncirculated U.S. $2 Bill is Genuine Authentic Legal Tender of the United States, which has been enhanced with beautiful colorized images. "Devolved Parliament" is the largest known canvas by the anonymous street artist known as Banksy, whose controversial creations have earned him global renown. Measuring 13 feet long, it shows the benches of Parliament occupied by primates. The painting was first unveiled in 2009. Then, earlier this year, it returned to the spotlight for another showing in Bristol to mark the date originally intended for Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, March, 29, 2019. At the time, the artist, famed for his dark humor and political commentary, offered the following explanation on Instagram "I made this ten years ago. Bristol museum have just put it back on display to mark Brexit day. "Laugh now, but one day no-one will be in charge." The quote makes reference to the first time Banksy featured chimpanzees in his work. Back in 2002, he produced another large painting of a row of glum-looking chimps in aprons emblazoned with the words: "Laugh now but one day we'll be in charge." The colorized images are accomplished through a revolutionary new authentic & genuine colorization process pioneered by The Merrick Mint, creating a collectible work of art. Each bill comes displayed in a blue folio with a Certificate of Authenticity to guarantee that your bills are authentic and recognized by every monetary authority around the world, therefore assuring its Collector Edition status. Each $2 Bill is in FRESH, CRISP, UNCIRCULATED condition, and was directly removed from untouched wrapped Federal Reserve sealed packs. Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson is featured on the obverse of the note, along with the special colorization overlay. The Signing of the Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull is featured on the reverse. It is the only U.S. Currency note that features two Presidents, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and it is one of the most rarely seen BILLS in circulation and actual use.
