A £5 note engraved with the image of England striker Harry Kane has gone into circulation in Merthyr Tydfil.
Micro-engraver Graham Short made six of the notes after Kane won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals during the 2018 World Cup.
He used the note during a purchase at a shop in Cefn Coed last Wednesday.
The artist previously etched Jane Austen on to new £5 notes when they were first circulated - and those have been valued at £50,000.
