![]() ![]() The commission's terms of reference were: The commission was chaired by Professor Henry Parker Willis of Columbia University who was Director of Research of the Federal Reserve Board in the United States. The issuing of banknotes by multiple private institutions was an everyday aspect of banking in Great Britain and Ireland at the time and remains so in Northern Ireland and Scotland.Ī banking commission was created in 1926, the Commission of Inquiry into Banking and the Issue of Notes, to determine what changes were necessary relating to banking and banknote issue in the new state. Only British Treasury notes were legal tender within the state. These consisted of notes issued by the Bank of England, the British Treasury, and six Irish banks that were chartered to issue notes. This page includes a small catalogue of values for these coins.When the Irish Free State came into existence in 1922, three categories of banknote were in circulation. ![]() Includes 1988 Dublin millennium 50 Pence, 1995 UN pound and 2000 Millennium pound.

Sellers of coins, either to dealers or at auction, will generally get less than these prices because the eventual buyer will end up paying either the dealer's mark-up or the auctioneer's fees which will account for the difference.Ĭoins listed in this catalogue which are common (or in lower grade than is readily available for the type) are provided with prices. Auction prices realised will generally be below these prices because the fees have to be paid as well. In general I have priced the coins from the point of view of what a collector might expect to pay in an open market. I believe that these prices are a good guide as to what a particular coin would cost if it were to appear on the open market. The prices in this catalogue are not derived from any single source - I have been collecting and buying and selling Irish coins for over 20 years and have provided prices based on my experience.Ĭontrary to popular practice I have attempted to indicate a price for the extremely rare and even for unique items. Many sections are not completed - Those listed below are substantially complete.Ĭaution : The pages I wrote first are in Irish pounds and the later ones are in Euros.Įach section carries a note of the currency used. The order is not perfectly chronological because the regal halfpennies of James II (to 1688) an those of William and Mary (from 1692) are contiguous and the Gun Money and related issues (1689-1691) are separated from them. This catalogue is divided into a number of pages which are arranged in approximate chronological order.
