Identification note: Exact Pick catalog subtype and precise grade cannot be confirmed from photos; printer and dimensions not visible. | Obverse shows Johannes Scotus Eriugena portrait, Gaelic issuer 'Banc Ceannais na hÉireann', denomination £5, and printed date 12.08.88; reverse with manuscript lettering and animal interlace and English legend 'central bank of Ireland £5 legal tender'—all matching Series B £5 type. The 1988 date places it within the 1976–1992 Series B run. Exact subtype (Pick suffix) depends on the specific signature combination, which is not legible in the evidence provided; thus the general type P-70 is identified, but the a/b/c suffix cannot be confirmed.
