British

Brief Description

The reverse features a Scottish Thistle encircled by a royal diadem, representing Scotland. The edge inscription reads 'NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT' (No one provokes me with impunity).

Historical Significance

This was part of the first series of the round £1 coin introduced to replace the £1 note. Included in a rotating series of floral emblems representing the four nations of the UK, the thistle design symbolizes Scotland and was the second in the series.

Estimated Value

£1.00 - £2.00 (Circulated condition). Note: These round pound coins were demonetized in 2017 and are no longer legal tender, but can often be exchanged at banks.

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as it can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place in a non-PVC holder to prevent oxidation.
