Not since Decimalisation have we seen such a major change to the appearance of our coins but on 2nd April 2008, the Royal Mint unveiled the new designs to feature on the £1 to the penny to the public for the very first time.
So as we say farewell to the designs that have become so familiar over the last four decades, we welcome the new designs that have replaced them.
You can be one of the lucky first collectors to own these brand new designs, remember it is unlikely that you will find these new designs in your change in the immediate future. Celebrate the biggest British numismatic event in years with the UK Royal Shield of Arms Silver Proof Collection - First of the New. Only 10,000 collection will be issued for collectors.
Struck in 925/1000 Sterling Silver by the Royal Mint, the 7 coins in the collection are each struck to an immaculate proof finish - each with their new design and each featuring the historic first year 2008 date. This is truly a once in a generation opportunity.
