| Comments |
The Central Bank's P#63 series replaced the earlier Currency Commission issues and marked a deliberate shift toward a distinctly Irish visual identity, away from the shared designs that had linked Free State and Republic-era notes to British printing conventions. De La Rue produced the series throughout its run, maintaining the quality that had made them the preferred security printer for Irish issues since independence.
Ten-shilling notes in this series were rendered obsolete by decimalisation in February 1971, when Ireland converted to the decimal pound. The short window between final issue and demonetisation means circulated survivors are common, but uncirculated stock is harder to place than the higher denominations.
