The 2008 Shield of Arms one pound coin is the first time that this design by Matthew Dent was used on British £1 coins. This silver proof piedfort £1 is struck in 0.925 fineness.

This coin comes in a presentation box with a certificate of authentication.

The modern round pound coin was issued between 1983 to 2016.

Two Designs

There were two different designs of £1 issued in 2008; one featuring the coat of arms and the other with the shield of arms. 

Edge

The edge is not only milled but also inscribed with a Latin inscription "DECUS ET TUTAMEN" which 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. The 1983 pound was 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".

Silver proof piedfort coins are double the thickness of standard coins.

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.
