Silver Proof Version

2001 Northern Ireland Design One Pound Coin
It was decided that from 1984, British £1 coins would feature different reverse designs for each of the four parts of the United Kingdom.
All £1 coins dated 2001 feature on the reverse a Celtic cross symbolising Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland Celtic Cross Design
A full description of the reverse type is already on our 1996 Pound Coin page.

Release Date
We now have both versions in stock for immediate delivery.

Obverse
The obverse bears the new, fourth portrait of The Queen, by Raphael Maklouf, introduced in 1998.

Reverse
A representation of the Broighter collar over a Celtic cross with a pimpernel at its centre.
The design is the work of engraver Norman Sillman.

Edge
The edge is not only milled but also inscribed. The inscription in Latin reads:-
DECUS ET TUTAMEN
Which may be translated as "an ornament and a safeguard". This inscription dates back to the first machine-struck coins minted in 1662 and was a device to prevent "clipping", and was used on the first pound coin in 1983.

Llantrisant Mint Mark
On the milled edge of the coin is the Llantrisant mint mark - a cross crosslet. The shape of the cross alluding to Llantrisant, which translated from the Welsh means "Church or Parish of the Three Saints".
