2 Northern Ireland Issuers have issued Commemorative

Banknotes, and both are £5 notes!

​

Northern Bank issued a five pound note in 1999 commemorating the Year 2000.  These were printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa on Australian-made polymer substrate rather than paper, and were the first polymer notes to circulate anywhere in the UK!

​

Ulster Bank issued its first commemorative banknote in 1986 – an issue of one million £5 notes commemorating the first anniversary of the death of Northern Irish footballer George Best
