The design stayed in use for almost 50 years, issued by the Central Bank of Ireland. This note, dated 28 June 1972, is signed by T. K. Whitaker as Governor and C. H. Murray of the Department of Finance (P-64c). It was issued shortly after Ireland changed to decimal currency in February 1971, and the Series A pound was replaced by the Series B design in the later 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lady Lavery as Kathleen Ni Houlihan, leaning on an Irish harp, with the bilingual titles \"The Central Bank of Ireland \/ Banc Ceannais na hÉireann\" and \"Legal Tender Note \/ Nóta Dlí-Thairgthe\", dated 28 June 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e the carved head of a river god from the Custom House in Dublin, between two decorative rosettes in green on a pale yellow ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 151 × 84 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard circulation banknote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Central Bank of Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 June 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e T.
