Comments

Ulster Bank's 1966 ten pound note was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson at their New Malden works, a firm with a long record of producing high-security commercial bank issues for British and Irish institutions. Ulster Bank itself remained a privately chartered issuing bank operating under the Currency Act (Northern Ireland) 1927, which permitted the continuation of private note issue in the province long after such rights had been extinguished elsewhere in the UK.

P#323 is not a common survivor in any grade — ten pound notes circulated hard and returned to the bank for destruction at a far higher rate than lower denominations were saved by collectors.
