Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This fourth portrait of the Queen was introduced in 2011 and was used on British coins until 2015. The portrait features the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace, and has a more mature and regal appearance compared to the previous portraits. The use of this portrait on the 1 Pound coin made it stand out from other coins in circulation and made it a popular collector's item.
