| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette of a classical male river god mask — representing the River Blackwater — rendered in intaglio in red-orange, set within an elaborate Celtic-style decorative border with interlaced knotwork ornaments. Two large pale green guilloche panels flank the central vignette, and the overall design is executed in the characteristic red and green bicolour scheme of the series. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Currency Commission Ireland was replaced by the Central Bank of Ireland in 1943, making any note bearing the Commission's name a product of the institution's final years. This particular issue falls squarely in the wartime period, when Ireland's neutrality kept its banking infrastructure intact but paper and printing supply chains under strain.
Waterlow & Sons produced the full Consolidated Banknote series for the Commission from London — the same firm then printing for dozens of colonial and independent governments simultaneously. The two signatures here, Brennan and McElligott, reflect a brief transitional moment: Joseph Brennan had chaired the Commission since its founding in 1927, while J. J. McElligott served as Secretary of the Department of Finance.
