A ten pound note which is more than 90 years old sold at auction today for a staggering £18,000.
The rare Irish banknote from Dublin s Northern Bank is dated May 1929 and is part of the Ploughman series.
It is one of only seven of its type known to exist after the notes were withdrawn by the Irish Central Bank, ceasing to be valid in 1953.
Auction house Dix Noonan Webb of Mayfair, London, estimated the note would make between £22,000 and £26,000, but an internet bid secured the note for £18,000.
The Ploughman series was issued to eight banks in the Irish Free State by Ireland s Currency Commission - which preceded the Irish Central Bank - in a move away from the pound sterling in 1929.
