Irish banknote auctions: Lady Lavery and Central Bank notes, searched at once

Irish paper money spans the iconic Lady Lavery series issued from 1928 to the 1970s, later Central Bank of Ireland designs, and a separate Northern Irish tradition of bank-issued sterling notes from First Trust, Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank and others, giving collectors both a Republic and a Northern strand to pursue.

Why Irish banknote lots get missed

General sellers often can't tell a common late Lady Lavery note from an earlier, scarcer signature or prefix, and Northern Irish sterling notes are easily mistaken for standard Bank of England issues and mis-listed, or missed entirely in a general paper money lot.

One search across every platform: including a numismatic specialist

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. NumisBids is itself a platform dedicated entirely to coin and banknote auctions worldwide, so a single search here already reaches specialist numismatic sales as well as the general auction houses where mis-catalogued lots hide. Search "Lady Lavery," a bank name, "Central Bank of Ireland," or "Irish banknote" and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "Irish banknote": genuine Lady Lavery and Central Bank of Ireland notes across multiple denominations, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for Republic and Northern Irish issues alike

Save a search ("Lady Lavery," a bank name, or "Irish banknote" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay and NumisBids, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching Irish banknote lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.
