A Masterpiece of Irish Currency Secure a premium piece of Irish heritage with this 1976 Ireland £20 note. Part of the iconic "Series A" (also known as the Lady Lavery series), these banknotes are widely considered among the most beautiful ever designed. Issued on March 24, 1976, this high-denomination note is a cornerstone for any serious collector of European or Irish numismatics.

Exquisite Artistic Design

• Obverse: Features the captivating portrait of Lady Lavery (Hazel Lavery) leaning on an Irish harp, symbolizing Erin. The background depicts a serene Irish landscape of mountains and water.

• Reverse: Showcases an intricate, mystical engraving of a River God (mask of the River Boyne), surrounded by complex red guilloché patterns that provided high-level security for the era.

• Dual Language: Elegantly printed in both English and Irish (Banc Ceannais na hÉireann / Fiche Punt).

• Signatories: C.H. Murray (Governor) and M. O'Murchu (Secretary of the Dept. of Finance).

Collector's Condition: This banknote is in Very Fine (VF) to Extra Fine (EF) circulated condition. It remains exceptionally crisp with vibrant red and orange hues. There is a very light, almost imperceptible center fold and minor handling ripples near the edges, but the paper retains much of its original body and "flick." No pinholes, ink marks, or tears are present.
