Overview
The reverse features a Welsh leek encircled by a royal diadem (crown) with the words 'ONE POUND' below. The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Historical significance
This coin belongs to the first series of the round UK pound coins introduced in 1983 to replace the one-pound note. This specific leek design represents Wales as part of a series honoring the four home nations of the UK.
Estimated value
£1.00 - £2.00 (Face value in most circulated conditions; highly sought after versions in 'Uncirculated' condition may fetch more). Note: This round style was demonetized in 2017 and is no longer legal tender.
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or brushes as this can damage the numismatic value; if necessary, use mild soap and water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
