WHAT DOES POUND COIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

One pound (British coin)

The British one pound coin is a denomination of the pound sterling. Its obverse has featured the profile of Queen Elizabeth II since the coin’s introduction in 1983. Three different portraits of the Queen have been used, with the latest design by Ian Rank-Broadley being introduced in 1998. The current standard reverse, featuring the Royal Shield, was introduced in 2008. In addition to the standard reverse one or two new designs are minted each year. The coin was introduced on 21 April 1983 to replace the Bank of England one pound note which ceased to be issued at the end of 1984 and was removed from circulation on 11 March 1988. One-pound notes continue to be issued in Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, and by the Royal Bank of Scotland, but the pound coin is much more widely used. As at March 2013 there were an estimated 1,528 million £1 coins in circulation with an estimated face value of £1,528.274 million. The Royal Mint estimates that 3.04% are counterfeit. In 2017, a new 12-sided design is to be introduced.
