Northern Ireland (UK), 5 Pounds, issued in 1999. Issued to mark the advent of the year 2000. Front: An Alpha (α) motif at the bottom, depicting the beginning of the Universe. Moving up, we see the birth of the solar system with the Earth as a transparent coloured disc and the advent of Christianity depicted by the Star of Bethlehem at top right. Back: The large star at bottom now represents the sun and, moving upwards through waves of time, the earth, where man has conquered both land and sea. The watch's hands set at midnight are marking a new beginning, reaching through technology back towards space and the stars where it all began.
