Orangemen in Portadown introduced a brand new coin to mark the centenary of the devastating battle of the Somme, which began in summer 1916. One of which has been presented to DUP First Minister Arlene Foster. The coin also reflects the important occasion of Co Armagh Twelfth demonstration, which will be held in Portadown this July.

Priced at 6 pounds, officials say that 4,000 coins have been ordered and more could be ordered since they are growing in popularity.
