Northern Ireland, Belfast Banking Company 9.11.1939 P-130b PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 50 Pounds
Challenging higher denomination issued before World War II from one of the smaller Northern Irish banks to issue notes. This represented quite a bit of purchasing power at the time of issue and very few members of the general public could afford to put one of these aside. It also had a very limited print run to begin with, which does not help availability of this scarce type in today's market.
