The ‘Erembald’ by eleventwentyseven design is a custom made, limited edition, bespoke dandyhorse made in Bruges, Belgium.

A similarly nifty website allows readers to browse the titles online.

A fictional Hungarian 20 euro note (much nicer than the revamped €20 note we’ll be using later this year) with an innovative security feature.
