Throughout the 18th century the Irish pound existed as a notional currency, whose value was fixed at twelve-thirteenths of a pound sterling. The first notes issued by the Bank of Ireland in 1783 could be redeemed at twelve-thirteenths of the specie value of the English pound. From 1797 the value of the Irish pound was allowed to float and it depreciated against the English pound. In 1826 both currencies were assimilated, this broadside lists the value of Irish money for that year.
