1 Pound Ulster Bank

Ulster Bank Limited was a privately chartered bank operating under the authority granted by the Irish Banking system, and by the 1930s it was one of several Northern Irish commercial banks still exercising the right to issue their own notes — a privilege that survived partition and continued well into the twentieth century. Charles Skipper & East, the London security printers, produced work for numerous colonial and regional issuers during this period; their output for Ulster Bank followed the same intaglio-heavy process used across their commercial banking contracts.

The 1935–1938 window was not defined by any single monetary crisis but by the quiet administrative reality of a divided Ireland still settling its dual banking jurisdictions.
