Authentic Banksy Di-Faced Tenner: Spotting the Genuine Article

Provenance

Rare are pleased to offer a handful of Banksy Di-Faced tenners, each tenner comes with a letter of provenance, signed and stamped (gold thumb print), by Banksy's ex-manager-Steve Lazarides. 

When investing in a genuine Banksy Di-Faced tenner, understanding its production is key to verifying authenticity. Unlike digital reproductions, original tenner prints were meticulously crafted using traditional offset lithography. This advanced printing technique employed CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) inks, each applied with its own dedicated plate during the artist’s production process.

How to Verify Your Banksy Di-Faced Tenner:

• Examine the Print Quality: A genuine tenner will exhibit a distinct rosette pattern when viewed up close. This pattern arises from the precise layering of CMYK dots.

• Use Your Phone Camera: Simply magnify a section of the tenner with your smartphone camera. You should clearly see the individual CMYK dots (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) forming the image.

• Compare with Fakes: On authentic prints, these rosettes will be sharp and well-defined. Photocopies or digital fakes will often show blurred, indistinct, or absent dot patterns.

The clear, well-defined CMYK rosettes are the hallmark of a genuine Banksy Di-Faced tenner, distinguishing it from inferior digital copies. Don’t be fooled by imitations – verify the intricate detail that speaks to true Banksy craftsmanship.
