Overview

A thick, golden-colored round coin featuring the Diadem and Leek of Wales on the reverse, with the words 'ONE POUND' below the design.

Historical significance

This was part of a series representing the four constituent countries of the UK. This specific design represents Wales. Notably, the 'round pound' was demonetized in 2017 and replaced by the 12-sided bimetallic pound to combat counterfeiting.

Estimated value

£1.00 (Face value only, as it is no longer legal tender but can be exchanged at most UK banks)

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment to avoid 'verdigris' (green corrosion). Do not clean with abrasive chemicals, as this can damage the numismatic surface and lower any collector value.
