Partial Offset Transfer Error Banknotes
Central Bank of Ireland Series A
Small part of printing from one side of a banknote appears on the other side
Central Bank of Ireland 10 Shillings, 1943 partial offset transfer error
A ghost impression of part of the front printing of the previous banknote appears on the top of the reverse.
This is caused by the previous banknote having been folded when being struck by the printing plate.
Ink that would have been applied to the folded portion of the banknote is instead deposited on the bed of the printing press. This ink is then applied to the next note causing the ink transfer to the wrong side of the note.
The previous banknote with the fold on it would be left with a missing print error in the shape of the fold.
