Ireland Currency Commission £5 15.10.1940 Pick 3C. After the gradual withdrawal of the Ploughman notes which were authorized by the Currency Commission but issued by individual private banks (that had the capital), the Commission decided to issue its own series of notes. This series was also very well known because of the design, and was known as the Lady Lavery series, whose likeness would be used for another forty years. This well preserved example retains its crisp, stainless paper. Some minor rust is noted. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
Estimate: 500-700 USD
