Try the Bank of England website - they've got the world's finest collection of English bank notes going back to the 18th century. Usually the head of the monarch is on the right hand side.
The Bank of England have issued a new twenty pound note today.
Please note that the Bank of Scotland issues currency notes in Scotland - these do not have the monarch's head. Scottish money is valid in England and Wales.
There is no Bank of Wales however the Welsh did issue their own bank notes until the early to mid 19th century. They were mostly used as a means of buying and selling livestock, sheep etc. Such notes were issued by private Welsh banks.
Some English banks, such as those in Yorkshire also have issued bank notes in the past. Am not sure if they still do.

You may be getting mixed up with stamps the monarch faces the opposite way if hes male.

Neither, since we don't have a King at present

Please elaborate your question - I presume you mean old banknotes, because all current ones feature the queen.
