2004 Northern Bank £50 Specimen, Pick Unlisted NR126, PMG 63

Ireland - Northern 2004 - Northern Bank £50 Specimen NR126 (Pick Unlisted)

Issued only to test plate work and approval quality, this 2004 £50 never reached the public. When £26.5 million was stolen from the bank’s cash centre in Belfast on 20 December 2004, Northern Bank immediately recalled its currency and suspended distribution of this issue. The robbery forced an emergency redesign, security overhaul, and complete reissue of Northern Bank notes in early 2005 to maintain confidence in the currency.
