| Reverse description | The left panel carries an elaborate full-bleed underprint of insular script text extracts from the Book of Kells, the celebrated eighth-century illuminated gospel manuscript, rendered in warm ochre and deep brown tones. A vivid intaglio vignette at centre depicts a leaping interlaced beast in the distinctive Insular animal style drawn from the Book of Kells. At right, the issuer's name and denomination numeral £5 are set in a bold uncial typeface with Celtic knotwork infill, above the legend "legal tender". |
