| Comments |
Ulster Bank Limited was a Belfast-based commercial bank operating under the Irish private note-issuing system, which persisted long after similar arrangements had been wound up elsewhere in the United Kingdom. The right to issue notes was fiercely defended by the Ulster banks, and this series reflects that sustained independence from a centralized currency regime.
P#383 covers a broad twelve-year span, and dating individual examples within that range often depends on serial number research rather than anything printed on the note itself. Documentation on this specific issue is thin enough that attributed dates should be treated with caution.
