Series A banknotes
The Series A banknotes (Irish: Nótaí bainc sraith A) were the first banknotes created by and for the Irish Free State in 1928 and continued to be issued when the Free State became the Republic of Ireland. They are considered to "count amongst the most iconic and beautiful of all modern banknotes." The series is known as "The Lady Lavery Series", from the prominent portrait on the front of the notes.
