Re: Ffrench's Bank, Charles & Co. Dublin • 1812–1814

Here is an unusual Dublin note with Thomas Ffrench as lead partner. The note is unissued but probably dates from 1807-1808 during the early days of the Dublin Branch.
At first sight, the denomination is really strange: ONE POUND, FOURTEEN SHILLINGS & PENNY-HALFPENNY. However, not so strange when you realise it is 1 Guinea & Half although not mentioned as such on the note. Another unusual feature is the watermark. It is difficult to identify completely but looks like TUAM BANK which is interesting for a Dublin note
