Irish Paper Money hat geschrieben:The Consolidated Banknotes (Ploughman Notes) 1929-1941
The first issue of Consolidated Bank Notes took place on May, 6 1929.
Six denominations were issued: £1, £5, £10, £20, £50 and £100.
The designs for the notes for all the banks were almost identical, differing only in the name of the bank and the signature. The obverse design of all of the notes was of a ploughman with a team of two horses hence the popular nickname of 'ploughman notes' .
Eight banks had notes produced and allocated to them for issue:
* The National Bank
* The Bank Of Ireland
* The Northern Banking Company
* The Provincial Bank
* The Ulster Bank
* The Hibernian Bank
* The Royal Bank of Ireland
* The Munster & Leinster Bank
The ploughman £1 and £5 and £10 notes are not particularly scarce, they are readily available to collectors from either banknote dealers or from public auctions.The £5 and £10 notes from the banks with the smaller issues (Northern, Royal, Ulster and Hibernian) are scare.
Ploughman notes are very popular with collectors and notes in crisp Extremely Fine or Uncirculated condition are highly sought after and scarce. Only one £20 pound note was reported as outstanding in 1954 however I have since heard that the Bank of Ireland £20 notes are all accounted for. The higher denominations; £50 and £100; were only produced for the Bank of Ireland all of the notes of these denominations were reported as withdrawn by the banks in 1954, no £50 or £100 notes have turned up subsequently and there are probably none left in existence.
