Mint Condition Pound Coins
Since the pound coin was introduced in 1983, it has had its reverse designs changed annually in five year cycles.
In addition to this, the obverse (head side) portrait has changed in 1985 and 1998, so that in its 18 years of issue, it has hardly ever repeated the same obverse and reverse designs in any years.
Please see our Type Chart of Pound Coins for photographs of each year.

Availability & Prices
All Brilliant Uncirculated, unless otherwise stated. Please remember that uncirculated coins are not necessarily perfect, and will have bag marks and scuffs. Coins issued as specimens will be better.
