details:
The Northern Ireland £1, the third in the series of four, was introduced
into circulation on 21 April 1986. Appropriately, Northern Ireland is
represented by the flax plant, whose fibres have for centuries been woven
into world famous linens. The coin carries the edge inscription DECUS ET
TUTAMEN, ‘an ornament and a safeguard’.
