Hey all

Been trying to id a face on Bank of ireland bank notes for a while now, to no avail.

It appears on the top of the front side, of the modern notes, almost obscured by the "BANK OF IRELAND" writing.

It also seems to appear more on the older notes.

Here is the face unobscured.

Any help with this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
