| Comments |
The Provincial Bank of Ireland was a London-registered institution operating throughout Ireland, founded in 1825 with a deliberate strategy of opening branches in provincial towns where the Bank of Ireland had no presence. It was one of the few banks issuing notes across both jurisdictions after partition — a practical commercial arrangement that outlasted the political settlement by decades.
The five-year span between the two dated signatures here brackets a period of genuine economic turbulence for Irish banking: the Depression years forced consolidation across the sector, and ten-pound notes of this series saw limited hand-to-hand use given their value relative to average wages. High-denomination survivors from this window are correspondingly scarce.
The Provincial eventually merged into Allied Irish Banks in 1966.
