Comments

Ulster Bank Limited was a Belfast-headquartered bank operating under Irish private banking law, and its notes from this period circulated freely alongside Bank of Ireland and other authorised issuers — a pluralist system that persisted long after England had effectively centralised its own note issue. Charles Skipper & East were a London security printer responsible for a significant volume of Irish provincial bank work during this period, though their name rarely appears in collector literature with the prominence it deserves.

The series ran across more than a decade that included the First World War, the 1916 Rising, and the early turbulence of the Home Rule crisis — all of which affected commercial confidence and banking behaviour in Ulster without interrupting note production itself.
