New Pound Coin

[scott 144]

nothing

looks interesting, but the edge looks rather bland

how the hell are they going to manage all that tiny detail when they cant make any currency properly?

The sides will probably be smooth and blank and the design details will be colour printed onto it in China, Elvis-coin style!

[Peter 615]

I like the design but need the date in the exurge under Britannia.

Queenie must be getting on a bit.

Maybe we need a veiled Queen.

Can't see the Duke lasting long.

I gather that the reverse is going to be decided by open competition, so come on you lot and get cracking. I, for one, am willing to suggest Samantha Fox on the reverse - if there's room.

The nickname for the new coin will be 'Twin Peaks', then?

[scott 144]

the 1780s britannia design with the ahem loose fitting dress.

Sam Fox is old as Peck and a carpet muncher.

I wonder what the mintage is, are these going out to the vending machine industry?

Interesting reverse... Not a fan, not a fan at all..

[Peter 615]

As bad as some of the Olympic 50p's

What is wrong with a good Britannia?

Agreed, and there's nothing wrong with good ol' Britannia Peter!

[Debbie 58]

Gosh and that was the winner?

[Peckris 579]

If Sam Fox is to appear on the reverse, and the thing has 12 sides, it gives a whole new meaning to 'threepenny bits'.

I wonder if they would be able to prevent ghosting with all that metal being sucked out of the obverse. I guess it would also be the first coin in modern times with two busts.

[scott 144]

that isn't the winner, its just filler.

So sorry about all this Debbie!

The new pound coin a fantasy piece.

Ah well why change the habit of a life time - make a slight change from something to do with motors or fishing .....

Sucked out of the reverse, you mean?

I was assuming queenie would still be on the other side, hence two busts

No, you don't get it - the Queen's head wouldn't suck out much metal compared to ... oh, never mind.

That would be an interesting pattern/essai with the reverse legend "Watch this space"
