| Comments |
The Bank of Ireland's £1 notes from this period were issued under wartime and immediate post-war conditions, before the partition of Ireland and the subsequent split of the Irish banking system forced a complete redesign of circulating notes. The Bank of Ireland, chartered in 1783, continued issuing sterling-denominated pounds throughout — these notes predating the 1921 political settlement by just a few years carry no indication of the disruption that was coming.
Pick 84 is notably scarce in any condition. The short issue window and the bank's practice of systematically retiring and pulping returned notes kept survival numbers low.
