Unfortunately, the turmoil in Northern Ireland created opportunity for this note to be commonly defaced because of the of the watermark of Daniel O&#039;Connell, an Irish patriot. I really like the vignette of the young Colleen, with her harp and Irish wolfhound and a ship in the background.</b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b> </b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/ireland/nationalbank5pounds1939dtl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/ireland/nationalbank5pounds1939.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b></b><b>With colour and design variations, this series of banknotes from National Bank has to be one of the loveliest ever created in Ireland.</b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/ireland/national101959dtl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/ireland/national101959.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b></b><b>The colours on this one are fantastic. This type set of three notes was no small accomplishment to complete, a pursuit about five years in the making. Heavily circulated or defaced notes noted above are not too difficult to find from National Bank, but choice notes are another story altogether. This 1959 note represented the last issue from National Bank, which was absorbed into Bank of Ireland in 1965.</b></p> </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
