Tottenham's Harry Kane engraved into £5 notes after England World Cup campaign

England captain Harry Kane has been engraved in six £5 notes in circulation in Wales which could be worth up to £50,000.

Micro-engraver Graham Short, who has also etched Jane Austen into a £5 note in the past, has commemorated Kane's World Cup Golden Boot with this tribute.

One of the notes containing Austen fetched £6,000 at auction, and Short believes the Kane versions -- one for every goal he scored at the World Cup -- could be worth nearly ten times that amount.

"I've done six -- one for each goal he scored -- for Harry himself, the Football Association and four to be spent as we did with the Jane Austen notes around the UK and Ireland," he told the Guardian.
