Common questions
How much is the 2007 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Gateshead Millennium Bridge worth?
Verified sold prices for the 2007 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Gateshead Millennium Bridge run from £2.22 to £9.99 across 4 grades, taking the median for each grade. Condition makes the difference, so check the grade table above before pricing one.
Is the 2007 Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1 rare?
No. The Royal Mint's figures give 26,180,160 struck for circulation. That is the lowest of the four bridge pounds, but 13 round £1 entries from 1983 to 2015 have lower figures, including all of the capital city and floral coins of 2010 to 2014.
How many Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1 coins were made?
The Royal Mint's mintage figures give 26,180,160 struck for circulation, all dated 2007. The other three bridge pounds had 39,162,000 (2004 Forth Railway Bridge), 99,429,500 (2005 Menai Bridge) and 38,938,000 (2006 Egyptian Arch).
Who designed the Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1?
Edwina Ellis, an Australian-born wood engraver, designed the reverse. It was the last of her four bridge designs for the £1, one for each part of the United Kingdom. The obverse portrait of Elizabeth II is by Ian Rank-Broadley.
What is on the edge of the 2007 £1 coin?
The edge is milled and carries an incuse decorative pattern, not words. The Royal Mint describes the pattern as symbolising bridges and pathways. All four bridge pounds of 2004 to 2007 share it, which sets them apart from round pounds with Latin or Welsh edge inscriptions.
Is the Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1 still legal tender?
No. The round £1 lost its legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017, following the release of the 12-sided £1 on 28 March 2017. The Royal Mint says round pounds can still be deposited at most UK high street banks.
How do I identify the 2007 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Gateshead Millennium Bridge?
Check the weight 9.5g and diameter 22.5mm and the metal (nickel brass) against the specification table on this page. The reverse design is described above.
History and design
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1 is the last of four round pounds, issued one a year from 2004, that each show a bridge from one part of the United Kingdom. It represents England. The earlier three were the Forth Railway Bridge, the Menai Bridge and the Egyptian Arch. The Menai Bridge dates from 1826; the Gateshead bridge was six years old when the coin was struck.
The Royal Mint's figures give 26,180,160 for circulation, the lowest of the four bridge pounds and about a quarter of the 99,429,500 struck for the Menai coin two years earlier. It is still a large issue: 13 round £1 entries from 1983 to 2015 are lower.
The next new £1 design was the Royal Shield of 2008, which then ran every year. Round pounds lost their legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017.
Edwina Ellis, an Australian-born wood engraver, designed all four bridge reverses. Here the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is shown inside a border of struts, with ONE POUND beneath.
The Royal Mint records that the bridge opened to the public on 17 September 2001 and stretches 126 metres across the River Tyne, and credits its arched design to Gifford and Partners with Wilkinson Eyre. Check Your Change describes it as a tilting bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.
The milled edge has no lettering. It carries an incuse decorative pattern that the Royal Mint describes as symbolising bridges and pathways. The obverse has the fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin. Look for crisp lines on the bridge and the border of struts, and a clear edge pattern.
A 2007 pound should not have words on its edge. Check Your Change notes that counterfeit round pounds often have an edge that does not belong with the reverse and date.
The site also lists a silver proof, a silver piedfort and a gold proof of this design. The series began with the Forth Bridge £1, and the design that followed is the Royal Shield £1.
