Commonwealth Games 2 pound coins for Northern Ireland and England compared

This coin is one of four in the set of XVII Commonwealth Games 2002 coins. It has the lowest mintage of any £2 coin.

The England and Northern Ireland coins can look the same as the flags are so similar, but on very close inspection (take a clear in focus photo and zoom in!) you can make out the star with the crown shape above it on the Northern Ireland coin / flag.
