Reverse
The Definitive £1 Coin
Representing the United Kingdom, the first modern £1 coin appropriately depicted Britain's pre-eminent heraldic symbol, the Royal Arms, Eric Sewell, former Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint, was "greatly honoured, highly delighted and totally surprised" to have won the competition for the reverse design in 1983.
The Royal Shield
In 1988 a further £1 coin representing the United Kingdom was struck, Derek Gorringe's design featured a fine depiction of the Royal Arms within a shield divided into four parts.
The Floral Series
The first series, designed by the distinguished silversmith Leslie Durbin, depicted stylised floral emblems relating to the four home nations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The Heraldic Series
The reverse designs for the second series of four £1 coins were modelled by the acclaimed sculptor and experienced numismatic artist Norman Sillman. The theme was mainly heraldic.
The Bridge Series
The Bridge series of reverse designs was conceived by wood engraver Edwina Ellis. She was invited to take part in a limited competition and, abandoning the more traditional heraldic approach, she chose designs representing Britain's Industrial Heritage.
