Overview
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 & preservation
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.
