Mintage: 4000.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin marks the introduction of the new 12 sided design of the pound to replace the decades old round pound. The coin introduces state of the art anti counterfeiting features which included a holographic £ symbol when viewed at the angle and many other undisclosed secret marks. A significant part of the reason for the new design was due to the royal mint&#039;s estimation that almost 3% of all circulated pound coins are counterfeits. The Royal mint described the anti counterfiet features as top-secret, state of the art which requires a machine to detect. The design features the fifth portrait of the Queen and a design of four emblems of the nation&#039;s of the crown namely the English Rose, Welsh leek, Scottish thistle and Irish shamrock, design which was won by a teenager during a national competition held to select the design for this significant coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]642337[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
