Product Overview
Just as in Canada, chartered banks in Ireland were authorized to issue their own banknotes, and the Provincial Bank of Ireland was authorized to issue banknotes for use within Ireland. And as in Canada, original notes from this era are extremely scarce and highly sought-after by collectors. Although these notes were issued by an Irish bank, they were in pounds sterling and guaranteed by the Bank of England.
This is an extremely rare, near-perfect, gem uncirculated unissued specimen 1926 one-pound note, from the archives of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. This original note was produced more than 90 years ago and has been stored in the vaults of the Provincial Bank of Ireland. The design features both English and Irish themes, with a Britannia figure and a seated Hibernia figure.
This note dates from an important turning point in the history of Ireland. In May of 1921, Ireland was divided into Northern and Southern Ireland; Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom, while Southern Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) gained independence. At first, the same money that had been used before the partition continued to be used throughout both Northern and Southern Ireland. But in the late 1920s, currency was separated and new notes were issued for both Northern Ireland and the newly independent Southern Ireland. This note is an unissued example of the final design used for notes that circulated throughout all of Ireland.
