Final Emblems of Britain Coins

In 2008 The Royal Mint changed the reverse design of circulating coins from the Emblems of Britain to a new style, named the Royal Shield of Arms. Designed by Matthew Dent, the seven coins form a puzzle, which when placed together correctly, make up the Royal Shield of Arms.

Obverse

The obverse of the coins was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. This is the fourth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
