Elevate your collection with this prestigious assembly of Northern Ireland Specimen Banknotes. This set features historical issues from two of Ireland's most iconic financial institutions: the Bank of Ireland and the Provincial Bank of Ireland Limited.
Dating primarily from the 1977-1990 era, these notes represent the "Banknotes of the World" series by Franklin Mint, printed to the highest standards by Thomas De La Rue. As specimens, they were never intended for circulation, serving instead as official archival references and collector's presentation pieces.
Set Highlights:
-
Bank of Ireland 100 Pounds (1990): The flagship of the set, featuring a vibrant red design with Hibernia, the coat of arms, and a stunning architectural reverse showing the Bank of Ireland headquarters and a flying boat.
-
Provincial Bank of Ireland 1, 5, & 10 Pounds (1977): Rare "Belfast" issues featuring local portraits and the distinct "three-legged" logo of the Allied Irish Banks group.
-
Bank of Ireland 1, 5, & 10 Pounds: Classic "Hibernia" seated designs, showcasing the industrial and maritime heritage of Northern Ireland on the reverse (including the Sinking of the Girona and the Queen's Bridge).

-
Condition: UNC (Uncirculated) – Flawless, crisp paper with original embossed detail.

Specimen Markings: Each note is officially overprinted with "SPECIMEN" in red and features the archival star/asterisk (
*) within the serial number sequence. -
