Comments

The Timothy Noad reverse is a contemporary re-working of the traditional design for the Royal Arms which was last seen in its previous iteration on the £1 coins minted in base metal in 1983, 1993, 1998, 2003 & 2008 which had the reverse design by Eric Sewell. This design was also struck in silver proof, silver piedfort and gold proof.

This was the last circulating round pound coin before being replaced by the 12-sided pound coin in 2016. There were no proof quality coins issued for this type.
