Description
By Royal Proclamation of 22nd June 1983, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II authorised four new designs for the reverse of the £1 One Pound Silver Proof Coin.
The four designs, adopted in turn for the years 1984 – 1987, represent Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
To commemorate this significant occasion, in the history of the United Kingdom coinage, the Royal Mint have released a very Limited Issue £1 One Pound Silver Proof 4 Coin Set each struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver of each design.
The reverse designs, all including the Royal Diadem, show a thistle for Scotland, a leek for Wales, a flax plant for Northern Ireland and a oak tree for England.
These are the work of the distinguished silversmith, Leslie Durbin.
The obverse of the Scottish coin bears Arnold Machin’s portrait of the Queen, while the new effigy by Raphael Maklouf appears on the other three coins.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
