Obverse description Two classical allegorical figures of Hibernia stand on pedestals at the left and right margins, flanking the central text panel, with a frieze of female portrait medallions running along the upper border. The bank title in ornate lettering heads the centre panel, below which the denomination "Five Pounds" and the place of issue "Dublin" appear in large display type, accompanied by a letterpress listing of branch towns; guilloche panels bearing the word "FIVE" occupy the lower left and right corners. The closing formula "For the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland" is rendered in copperplate script above a manuscript signature.
