2015 Royal Arms Shield One Pound Circulated Coin

Royal Shield of Arms 2015 UK £1: one of the last round One Pound coins issued by The Royal Mint before new bi-metallic coins were introduced.

The reverse shows a shield bearing the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom. This design is the work of graphic designer Matthew Dent, who created the definitive puzzle-piece shield designs for all UK circulating coins, introduced in 2008.

• This is one of the last UK coins to feature Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
• The edge is inscribed 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN' - 'An ornament and a safeguard'
• 29,580,000 of these coins were struck for circulation in 2015 by The Royal Mint
