| Comments |
The Bank of Ireland's £100 note occupied a denomnation that saw almost no retail circulation — by the 1980s, a hundred-pound note in Ireland was a significant sum, and most examples passed through commercial banking channels or were held briefly before deposit. Genuine wear on these is uncommon not because they were carefully preserved but because they rarely left the counter.
Pick 68 carries dual signatures, O'Neill and Harrison, reflecting the Bank of Ireland's longstanding requirement for two authorizing officers on high-denomination paper. The specific pairing here helps narrow issue date within the decade.
