Re: Highest recorded numbers of Ploughman notes by bank, signature and denomination
I noticed an update for Provincial five pound.
Its only by 1 number, was in Whytes in Dublin a few months back.
Spotted another one too. Heritage had lots of notes in their sale August including Ulster £10 pounder number 01UT012932. Cant uplopad the pic, it says its too big, will email it.

Great to see an example of an issued £50 Ploughman note. The reverse was also beautifully designed and features the famous Irish mountain, Croagh Patrick. The attached image depicts the reverse of a £50 Ploughman Specimen note.
