| Comments |
Ulster Bank's pre-war £10 notes are among the scarcer Irish commercial bank issues of the interwar period — high-denomination notes in general circulation see harder use and lower survival rates, and the Ulster Bank's customer base was concentrated enough that fewer were printed than comparable English provincial issues of the same period.
One detail worth flagging: "Charles Skipper & East, Northern Ireland" as a printing attribution should be treated with caution. Skipper & East operated out of London and Norwich — any Northern Ireland reference in the note's typography almost certainly indicates place of payment or branch designation, not the pressroom location.
