2017 British One Pound Coin - Design, Symbolism & Specifications #3497100 (License: Personal Use)

This bi-metallic 2017 UK one pound coin features a central silver-colored disc surrounded by a gold-colored outer ring, with intricate detailing of the national emblems: Scotland’s thistle, England’s rose, Wales’s leek, and Northern Ireland’s shamrock, all united beneath a royal crown. The edge is inscribed with “2017” repeatedly and includes a hidden security feature-a micro-engraved “£” symbol visible under magnification. Designed by David Pearce and sculpted by Jody Clark, it replaced the previous round pound to combat counterfeiting.

Used on numismatic websites, educational resources, government mint pages, and e-commerce listings for collectors; targets users seeking coin identification, historical context, or purchasing collectible currency.
