New Coin Designs


Revealed back in April this year, the new coin designs were created by Matthew Dent, and when they are all put together it makes the Royal shield of Arms. That's cool.

It's a shame it doesn't include the £2 coin, and separately they look a bit odd- maybe it just needs time to get use to the asymmetrical design but I'm already imagining scenes where everyone tries to "make the shield" by fishing around their pockets and wallets for the new coins.
