The Currency Commission was established under the Currency Act of 1927 as the body responsible for issuing the new Irish Free State coinage and consolidated banknotes — a politically charged exercise in establishing a distinct Irish currency while simultaneously pegging it one-for-one to sterling. The Commission itself was not a central bank; it was a statutory board, and its notes were backed by British government securities held in London. That arrangement quietly persisted until the Central Bank of Ireland replaced the Commission in 1943.
At the £20 level, circulation numbers were low and commercial use limited largely to larger business transactions. De La Rue printed the series on distinctive laid paper with an embedded watermark — the primary security measure for the issue.
