| Opmerkingen |
The Provincial Bank of Ireland was absorbed into Allied Irish Banks in 1966, but retained its note-issuing privileges under its own name for another two decades — an administrative oddity that kept a technically defunct brand on legal tender paper well into the 1980s. By 1981, AIB was actively rationalizing its note-issuing subsidiaries, and this series had limited years left before the Provincial Bank name disappeared from circulation entirely.
De La Rue's involvement with Irish commercial bank notes was longstanding, and the £20 denomination saw relatively light circulation given the purchasing power it represented in 1981 Ireland.
