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.

The reverse designs of the Emblems of Britain:

Denomination	Design	Designer
£1	Royal Coat of Arms	Eric Sewell
50p	Britannia	Christopher Ironside
20p	Tudor Rose	William Gardner
10p	Crest of England	Christopher Ironside
5p	Badge of Scotland	Christopher Ironside
2p	Badge of Prince of Wales	Christopher Ironside
1p	Portcullis	Christopher Ironside

Obverse

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

Reverse

The reverse designs were designed by various designers but were predominately designed by Christopher Ironside.

Chose Chards on strength of Laurence’s YouTube videos…he seems very honest and price. I don’t think they can be beaten on price and I was very satisfied with the transaction and the package was delivered next day.

The Star rating should be 5 stars

The Star rating is not just 4 stars but it should have been 5 stars that will not light up, I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet at gold prices most 1oz is mainly at current gold values. However sovereigns have different pricing up to a third more, yet I found Chards prices are very fair prices which I have bought 3 sovereigns this year.

Coin received in mint condition with the confidence that the coin received is the genuine article. Chards have a large selection at great prices and are not greedy with the premium on gold coins .
