Verified sold prices for the 2013 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Oak and Rose run from £3.31 to £22.50 across 2 grades, taking the median for each grade. Condition makes the difference, so check the grade table above before pricing one.
How many 2013 England floral £1 coins were made?
The Royal Mint's mintage figures give 5,270,000 struck for circulation, all dated 2013. The Wales floral £1 of the same year has exactly the same figure, and 13,090,500 Royal Shield pounds were struck with the 2013 date.
Is the 2013 oak and rose £1 rare?
It is one of the lower mintage round pounds without being the scarcest. In the Royal Mint's figures only five dated round £1 issues are lower than its 5,270,000: Edinburgh, Cardiff, London, the 2008 Royal Arms and the 2014 Scotland floral coin.
Who designed the 2013 England floral £1?
Timothy Noad designed the reverse, along with the other three coins in the floral series of 2013 and 2014. The Royal Mint described him as a numismatic and medallic artist and a Fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators. The Queen's portrait is by Ian Rank-Broadley.
What does DECUS ET TUTAMEN mean on the edge?
DECUS ET TUTAMEN is Latin for "an ornament and a safeguard". The Royal Mint says the words were first used on coins in the reign of Charles II. The same inscription appears on the edge of many round pounds, starting with the first in 1983.
Can I still spend a 2013 England £1 coin?
No. Every round pound lost its legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017, after the 12-sided £1 replaced it. The Royal Mint says round £1 coins can still be deposited at most UK high street banks, subject to each bank's own arrangements.
How do I identify the 2013 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Oak and Rose?
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 2013 England £1 opened the last themed series of round pounds: four coins pairing the floral emblems of the home nations. England and Wales came in 2013, Scotland and Northern Ireland in 2014. The Royal Mint announced the first two on 30 November 2012 and tied them to the 30th anniversary of the £1 coin, which was first issued in 1983.
The Royal Mint's figures give 5,270,000 England coins struck for circulation, exactly the same as the Wales coin of that year. For comparison, 13,090,500 Royal Shield pounds carry the 2013 date. Among dated round £1 issues in the Mint's figures only five are lower: Edinburgh, Cardiff, London, the 2008 Royal Arms and the 2014 Scotland floral coin.
Round pounds were replaced by the 12-sided £1 from 28 March 2017 and lost legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017.
The reverse is by Timothy Noad, described by the Royal Mint as a numismatic and medallic artist and a Fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators. An oak branch with an acorn is balanced against a stem bearing a Tudor-inspired rose. The Mint's 2013 release called the oak indicative of integrity and strength and the rose a symbol of beauty and majesty.
Noad said of the series that he often uses plants and flowers "in a decorative way, combining natural forms and heraldic stylisation", and that these plants had appeared on coins singly before but not paired. The oak had last stood for England on the pounds of 1987 and 1992.
The milled edge reads DECUS ET TUTAMEN, "an ornament and a safeguard", wording the Mint says was first used on coins in the reign of Charles II. The obverse carries the fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin. Check Your Change records die rotation errors for the Wales coin of the same year but lists none for England.
Identification is simple: the 2013 date, the oak and rose reverse and the Latin edge inscription. The Wales floral £1 has a Welsh edge inscription instead, so the edge alone separates the two 2013 coins.
Collector versions were sold alongside the circulating coin. The Mint offered a brilliant uncirculated two-coin set with the Wales coin, then a silver proof, a silver piedfort and a gold proof of the England design, launched in May 2013. Those proof versions are listed separately on this site.
Round pounds no longer turn up in change, so examples now come from old jars, dealers and collections. The coin was in use for only a few years before withdrawal, and the fine lines of the rose petals and oak leaves are the first places to show wear.
