This 1998 silver proof piedfort one poud coin bears the Royal Coat of Arms reverse by Eric Sewell. This British legal tender coin is struck in 0.925 silver and comes in a presentation box with a certificate.
All coins include slight toning: The best way to avoid being disappointed by having bought a toned silver coin, or finding the a coin you already own has tarnished is to realise that silver does and will react with atmospheric gases and other chemicals, and therefore will tone.
Edge
The edge is not only milled but also inscribed. The inscription in Latin reads:
"DECUS ET TUTAMEN"
This may be translated as "an ornament and a safeguard". This inscription dates back to the first machine-struck coins minted in 1662 and was a device to prevent "clipping".
Llantrisant Mint Mark
On the milled edge of the coin is the Llantrisant mint mark - a cross crosslet. This is the first United Kingdom coin to be struck with this distinctive feature. The shape of the cross alluding to Llantrisant, which translated from the Welsh means "Church or Parish of the Three Saints".
On 28 March 2017, the circulated round pound was replaced by the 12 sided £1 coin. On the 15 October the round £1 coin will cease to be legal tender.
