Prefix gaps in observed notes

Post by callahiljo »

This appears to be a new sighting of this 10s prefix - and one of the scarcer dates, the first of those with the amended heading of "Ireland" rather than "Irish Free State". Apologies for poor image quality! The note is in a Lyn Knight auction and extracting images is not made easy.

There is a gap between the last recorded prefix of the Irish Free State series, 41D dated 4.8.37 and this prefix 45D on the following type dated 17.1.38.

Can anyone fill the gap?

Mine is a 46D. Must check these and see what is recorded.

Attached is an image of two 10/- notes, both 41N but different types - a split prefix i believe has not previously been recorded.

This is a nice example of a split prefix across different note types.

Not an uncommon occurrence.
The prefix is also split on 19.10.55 and 28.5.57; and also 1.9.59, and 3.1.62.

1.12.41 and 6.2.43 are also split, on prefix 18G. This is a split between the two Issuing Authorities, Currency commission Ireland, and Central Bank of Ireland.
